This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity.
Joseph Stalin

The people will always attempt to find the positive aspects of all circumstances, which, in themselves, are not susceptible to danger.
Joseph Stalin

Is it possible, then, to doubt that we can and must gain victory over the German invaders? The enemy is not as strong as some terror-stricken pseudo-intellectuals picture him. The devil is not as terrible as he is painted.
Joseph Stalin
Image
The art of leadership is a serious matter. One must not lag behind a movement, because to do so is to become isolated from the masses. But one must not rush ahead, for to rush ahead is to lose contact with the masses. He who wished to lead a movement must conduct a fight on two fronts--against those who lag behind and those who rush ahead.

Joseph Stalin

Capitalism in its imperialistic stage is a system which regards war as a legitimate method for solution of international disputes - a method which is legitimate in fact if not legally so.

Universal, equal, direct and secret elections in the U.S.S.R. will be a whip in the hands of the population against poorly functioning organs of government.
Joseph Stalin
Image
The Red Army and Navy and the whole Soviet people must fight for every inch of Soviet soil, fight to the last drop of blood for our towns and villages...onward, to victory!
Joseph Stalin
Image
There is no nation in the whole world desiring war.
Joseph Stalin
Image
To slacken the tempo...would mean falling behind. And those who fall behind get beaten.
Joseph Stalin

I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy.

There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm.
Joseph Stalin
Image
To assert that we desire to bring about revolution in other countries, by interfering with their lives, is to speak of something which does not exist and which we never preach.
Joseph Stalin

When one man dies it is a tragedy, when thousands die it's statistics.
