1) It was not Louis XIV, it was Louis XVI
2) It was not said by him, it was said to him
3) It probably wasn't said at all.
A revolt is a localised violent protest against a government. A revolution is a complete turnaround - of the earth, for example, or of the state of affairs in a country.
The word used in the latter sense was new in the 18th century. Oddly, if this remark was ever made to Louis XVI, it was entirely accurate, since the constitution of France turned through 360 degrees after 1789 and came back, in 1815, to exactly where it started.

Who made a big impact on his country Louis XVI or Peter the great?
Louis XVI (he who was beheaded during the French revolution) had himself very little impact on his country apart from being there when the revolution broke out. Should you mean Louis XIV ( the "Sun King"): he had a big impact on his country in that he made it the most powerful on the European continent, but he did not radically alter its cultural, social or economic orientation, which is something Peter the Great did do.

Does the colors of the french flag mean anything?
Amazing how often this one comes up. Red and blue were the colours of Paris, white that of the old French flag of the Bourbon Kings. Lafayette, of all people, thought up the tricolour to show unity between people and King, in the hope that the King would back the Revolution. In the next phase of the Revolution, the flag came to symbolise the fact thet the King was the captive of Paris. By the time it became clear that Louis XVI was not interested in constitutional monarchy, the tricolour was well established, and was retained even by Napoleon - though not, of course, by Louis XVIII or Charles X. It returned, however, under Louis-Philippe and has remained ever since.
