More quotes by Joseph Stalin
Die, but do not retreat.
Joseph Stalin
We [U.S.S.R. and U.S.A.] can exist peacefully together if we don't indulge in too much mutual fault-finding in all kinds of trifles.
Joseph Stalin
Our new Soviet constitution will, in my opinion, be the most democratic constitution of all those existing in the world.
Joseph Stalin
I trust no one, not even myself.
Joseph Stalin
It is difficult for me to imagine what personal liberty the unemployed can have who go hungry and cannot find utilization of their labor.
Joseph Stalin
In my opinion, there are two focal points of the war danger. The first focal point is the Far East zone of Japan. The second focal point in the zone is Germany.
Joseph Stalin
It is difficult to say which is more menacing. But both of [points of war danger -Japan and Germany] exist and both are smoldering. In comparison with these two principal focal points of the war danger, the Italo-Ethiopian war represents an episode.
Joseph Stalin
We built this [socialistic] society not for the curbing of personal liberty, but in order that human personalities should really feel free.
Joseph Stalin
We secured peace for our country for one and a half years, as well as an opportunity of preparing our forces for defense if fascist Germany risked attacking our country in defiance of the pact. This was a definite gain to our country and a loss for fascist Germany.
Joseph Stalin
Many understand state socialism in this way. Sometimes a system is concealed behind this term in which the capitalist state, in the interests of preparation for the conduct of war, takes upon itself the maintenance of a certain number of private enterprises.
Joseph Stalin
This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity.
Joseph Stalin
He who votes does not have power. He who counts the votes has power.
Joseph Stalin
There are on occasions, as we know, when resources are abundant, but they are expended so incompetently that the advantage is nullified.
Joseph Stalin
Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.
Joseph Stalin
Leninism is Marxism of the era of imperialism and the proletarian revolution.
Joseph Stalin
Have not fascism in Italy and National Socialism in Germany claimed that they have attained similar results [as in U.S.S.R.]? Have not both been achieved at the price of privation and personal liberty sacrificed for the good of the state?
Joseph Stalin
Exported revolution is nonsense.
Joseph Stalin
Do you remember the tsar? Well, I‘m like a tsar.
Joseph Stalin
I believe that the position of the friends of peace is strengthening. The friends of peace are able to work in the open. They base themselves upon the force of public opinion. They have at their disposal such instruments as, for instance, the League of Nations. This is to the advantage of the friends of peace.
Joseph Stalin
When one man dies it is a tragedy, when thousands die it's statistics.
