More quotes by Mao Zedong

Image
We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.
Mao Zedong
Image
As for people who are politically backward, Communists should not slight or despise them, but should befriend them, unite with them, convince them and encourage them to go forward.
Mao Zedong
Image
Everything under heaven is in utter chaos the situation is excellent.
Mao Zedong
Image
An army of the people is invincible!
Mao Zedong

The differences between friends cannot but reinforce their friendship.
Mao Zedong

The Chinese people have stood up.
Mao Zedong
Image
There is a serious tendency toward capitalism among the well-to-do peasants.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is up to us to organize the people. As for the reactionaries in China, it is up to us to organize the people to overthrow them. Everything reactionary is the same if you do not hit it, it will not fall. This is also like sweeping the floor as a rule, where the broom does not reach, the dust will not vanish of itself.
Mao Zedong
Image
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
Mao Zedong
Image
Learn to swim. It is a sport all the peasants can play.
Mao Zedong
Image
If we have a correct theory but merely prate about it, pigeonhole it and do not put it into practice, then that theory, however good, is of no significance.
Mao Zedong
Image
We Communists are like seeds and the people are like the soil. Wherever we go, we must unite with the people, take root and blossom among them.
Mao Zedong
Image
As far as world war goes, there are really only two possibilities: either war provokes revolution, or revolution averts war.
Mao Zedong
Image
Firstly, do not fear hardship, and secondly, do not fear death.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is good that since the outbreak of the war with Japan, more and more revolutionary writers have been coming to Yan'an... But it does not necessarily follow that... they have integrated themselves completely with the masses here. The two must be completely integrated if we are to push ahead with our revolutionary work.
Mao Zedong
Image
The attitude of Communists towards any person who has made mistakes in his work should be one of persuasion in order to help him change and start afresh and not one of exclusion, unless he is incorrigible.
Mao Zedong
Image
Whoever has an army has power and that war decides everything.
Mao Zedong
Image
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Mao Zedong
Image
Communists should set an example in being practical as well as far-sighted. For only by being practical can they fulfil the appointed tasks, and only far-sightedness can prevent them from losing their bearings in the march forward.
Mao Zedong
Image
The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.
Mao Zedong
