There is a serious tendency towards capitalism among the well-to-do peasants. This tendency will become rampant if we in the slightest way neglect political work among the peasants during the co-operative movement and for a very long period after.
Mao Zedong
Image
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
Mao Zedong
Image
If we did ten things, nine were bad and got disclosed by the newspapers, we will be over. Then I will go, to the countryside, lead the peasant and revolt. If the Liberation Army do not follow me, I will get the Red Army.
Mao Zedong
Image
The enemy will not perish of himself. Neither will the Chinese reactionaries nor the aggressive forces of U.S. imperialism in China step down from the stage of history of their own accord.

To Be Attacked by the Enemy Is Not a Bad Thing but a Good Thing.
Mao Zedong

The most effective method of propaganda directed at the enemy forces is to release captured soldiers and give the wounded medical treatment...

In a suitable temperature, an egg becomes a chicken, and there are no chickens born of stones.
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
The Red Army is like a furnace in which all captured soldiers are melted down and transformed the moment they come over.
Mao Zedong
Image
The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
Mao Zedong

The Chinese people have stood up.
Mao Zedong
Image
There is no such thing as abstract Marxism, only concrete Marxism... The Sinofication of Marxism - that is, making certain that its manifestation is imbued with Chinese peculiarities - is a problem that must be understood and solved by the party without delay.
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
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.

Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.
