Quote by Wendell Phillips

Revolutions are not made, they come.

Revolutions are not made, they come.

Summary

This quote suggests that revolutions are not something that can be planned or manufactured intentionally. Instead, revolutions are organic in nature, and they occur spontaneously and naturally when the conditions for change become ripe. They are born out of the collective discontent and frustration of a society and emerge as a response to various social, political, or economic factors. Revolutions cannot be forced or manipulated; they are a result of the people's will and can only be ignited by the circumstances that lead individuals to demand radical change.

If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
