Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
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
...it is impossible for a genuine people's revolution in any country to win victory without various forms of help from the international revolutionary forces.
Mao Zedong
Image
Look at World War II, at Hitler's cruelty. The more cruelty, the more enthusiasm for revolution.
Mao Zedong
Image
An army of the people is invincible!
Mao Zedong
Image
The most important thing is to be strong. With strength, one can conquer others, and to conquer others gives one virtue.
Mao Zedong
Image
We must learn to do economic work from all who know how, no matter who they are. We must esteem them as teachers, learning from them respectfully and conscientiously. We must not pretend to know when we do not know.
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
When we look at thing, we must examine its essence and treat its appearance merely as an usher at the threshold, we must, once we cross the threshold, grasp the essence of the thing.
Mao Zedong
Image
Investigation may be likened to the long months of pregnancy, and solving a problem to the day of birth. To investigate a problem is, indeed, to solve it.
Mao Zedong
Image
People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
Mao Zedong
Image
Firstly, do not fear hardship, and secondly, do not fear death.
Mao Zedong
Image
Morality begins at the point of a gun.
Mao Zedong
Image
. . . dogma is less useful than cow dung. One can make whatever one likes out of it, even revisionism. . . .
Mao Zedong
Image
The government burns down whole cities while the people are forbidden to light lamps.
Mao Zedong
Image
Once all struggles are grasped, miracles are possible.
Mao Zedong
Image
When the enemy advances, withdraw when he stops, harass when he tires, strike when he retreats, pursue.
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
Our country and all the other socialist countries want peace so do the peoples of all the countries of the world. The only ones who crave war and do not want peace are certain monopoly capitalist groups in a handful of imperialist countries that depend on aggression for their profits.
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.
