Communists should set an example in study at all times they should be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.
Mao Zedong

Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
Mao Zedong

. . . dogma is less useful than cow dung. One can make whatever one likes out of it, even revisionism. . . .
Mao Zedong
Image
No political party can possibly lead a great revolutionary movement to victory unless it possesses revolutionary theory and knowledge of history and has a profound grasp of the practical movement.
Mao Zedong
Image
...the evil system of colonialism and imperialism arose and throve with the enslavement of Negroes and the trade in Negroes, and it will surely come to its end with the complete emancipation of the Black people.
Mao Zedong
Image
In general, any form of exercise, if pursued continuously, will help train us in perseverance. Long-distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
Mao Zedong
Image
Our stand is that of the proletariat and of the masses. For members of the Communist Party, this means keeping to the stand of the Party, keeping to Party spirit and Party policy.
Mao Zedong
Image
The only way to settle questions of an ideological nature or controversial issues among the people is by the democratic method, the method of discussion, of criticism, of persuasion and education, and not by the method of coercion or repression.
Mao Zedong

Even though I believe we should promote Chinese medicine, I personally do not believe in it. I don't take Chinese medicine.
Mao Zedong

Mao Zedong
Image
Man must conquer nature.
Mao Zedong
Image
Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.
Mao Zedong
Image
Just because we have won victory, we must never relax our vigilance against the frenzied plots for revenge by the imperialists and their running dogs. Whoever relaxes vigilance will disarm himself politically and land himself in a passive position.
Mao Zedong
Image
Swollen in head, weak in legs, sharp in tongue but empty in belly.
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

Some play the piano well and some badly and there is a great difference in the melodies they produce.
Mao Zedong
Image
Three Songs 1 Mountain. I whip my quick horse and don't dismount and look back in wonder. The sky is three feet away. 2 Mountain. The sea collapses and the river boils. Innumerable horses race insanely into the peak of battle. 3 Mountain. Peaks pierce the green sky, unblunted. The sky would fall but for the columns of mountains.
Mao Zedong
Image
Our national defense will be consolidated and no imperialist will be allowed to invade our territory again. Our People's armed forces must be maintained and developed with the brave and steeled People's Liberation Army as their foundation. We will have not only a powerful army but also a powerful air force and a powerful navy.
Mao Zedong

The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. Young people, full of vigour and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you...The world belongs to you. China's future belongs to you.
Mao Zedong

The arrow of Marxist-Leninism must be used to hit the target of the Chinese Revolution.
