More quotes by Deng Xiaoping
Even if they're functioning out of ignorance, they are still participating and must be suppressed. In China, even one million people can be considered a small sum.
Deng Xiaoping
We mustn't fear to adopt the advanced management methods applied in capitalist countries. The very essence of socialism is the liberation and development of the productive systems. Socialism and market economy are not incompatible. We should be concerned about right-wing deviations, but most of all, we must be concerned about left-wing deviations.
Deng Xiaoping
The minority yields to the majority!
Deng Xiaoping
China has a history of thousands of years of feudalism and is still lacking in socialist democracy and socialist legality. We are now working earnestly to cultivate socialist democracy and socialist legality. Only in this way can we solve the problem.
Deng Xiaoping
Black cat, white cat, what does it matter as long as the cat catches mice?
Deng Xiaoping
Chairman Mao's greatest contribution was that he applied the principles of Marxism-Leninism to the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution, pointing the way to victory. It should be said that before the sixties or the late fifties many of his ideas brought us victories, and the fundamental principles he advanced were quite correct.
Deng Xiaoping
By following the concept of one country, two systems, you dont swallow me up nor I you.
Deng Xiaoping
Do not debate! is one of my inventions.
Deng Xiaoping
Cross the river by feeling for stones under one's feet.
Deng Xiaoping
Reform is Chinas second revolution.
Deng Xiaoping
Black cat or white cat: If it can catch mice, it's a good cat
Deng Xiaoping
No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
Deng Xiaoping
We must firmly grasp management. Just making things isn't enough. We need to raise the quality.
Deng Xiaoping
Whatever sentence is passed on the Gang of Four won't be excessive. They brought harm to millions upon millions of people.
Deng Xiaoping
We must make a clear distinction between the nature of Chairman Mao's mistakes and the crimes of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four. For most of his life, Chairman Mao did very good things. Many times he saved the Party and the state from crisis. Without him the Chinese people would, at the very least, have spent much more time groping in the dark.
Deng Xiaoping
The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.
Deng Xiaoping
There is oil in the Middle East there is rare earth in China.
Deng Xiaoping
I don’t care if the cat is black or white, I just want it to kill the mice.
Deng Xiaoping
We should not lay all past mistakes on Chairman Mao. So we must be very objective in assessing him. His contributions were primary, his mistakes secondary. In China, we will inherit the many good things in Chairman Mao's thinking while at the same time explaining clearly the mistakes he made.
Deng Xiaoping
No matter to what degree China opens up to the outside world and admits foreign capital, its relative magnitude will be small and it can't affect our system of socialist public ownership of the means of production.
Deng Xiaoping
