I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how but what is extraordinarily important is this - who will count the votes, and how.

Of course, in order to build something new, one has to economize, accumulate means, temporarily limit one's requirements, borrow from others. If you want to build a new house, you save money temporarily and limit your requirements, otherwise you might not build your house.

It is not heroes that make history, but history that makes heroes.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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
There is not, nor should there be, an irreconcilable contrast between the individual and the collective, between the interests of an individual person and the interests of the collective.
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?

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

In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
Joseph Stalin
Image
We have no parties standing in opposition to each other, just as we have no class of capitalists and a class of workers exploited by capitalists in opposition to each other.

Artillery is the god of war.
Joseph Stalin

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
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
Image
There are on occasions, as we know, when resources are abundant, but they are expended so incompetently that the advantage is nullified.
Joseph Stalin
Image
To choose one's victims, to prepare one's plan minutely, to slake an implacable vengeance, and then to go to bed... There is nothing sweeter in the world.
Joseph Stalin
Image
Marxists have more than once pointed out that the capitalist world economic system contains in itself the seeds of a general crisis and of warlike clashes.

Voters decide nothing. Vote counters decide everything!

Quanity has it's own quality.

A man's eyes should be torn out if he can only see the past

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
We built this [socialistic] society not for the curbing of personal liberty, but in order that human personalities should really feel free.

The term state socialism is not precise. Under this term many understand an order under which a certain part of the wealth, sometimes a quite considerable part, passes into state ownership or under its control while in the great majority of cases the ownership of plants, factories, and land, remains in private hands.
