In time of difficulties, we must not lose sight of our achievements.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is quite possible that China may reach the stages of socialism and communism considerably later than your countries in the West which are so much more highly developed economically.
Mao Zedong
Image
The seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution. This Marxist-Leninist principle of revolution holds well universally, for China and for all other countries.
Mao Zedong
Image
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
Learn to swim. It is a sport all the peasants can play.
Mao Zedong
Image
In addition to the leadership of the Party, a decisive factor is our population of 600 million. More people mean a greater ferment of ideas, more enthusiasm and more energy. Never before have the masses of the people been so inspired, so militant and so daring as at present.
Mao Zedong
Image
Many people think it impossible for guerrillas to exist for long in the enemy's rear. Such a belief reveals lack of comprehension of the relationship that should exist between the people and the troops. The former may be likened to water the latter to the fish who inhabit it. How may it be said that these two cannot exist together?
Mao Zedong
Image
Ours is a people's democratic dictatorship, led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance.
Mao Zedong
Image
When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill.
Mao Zedong
Image
Once all struggles are grasped, miracles are possible.
Mao Zedong
Image
Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
Mao Zedong
Image
People of the world, unite and defeat the U.S. aggressors and all their running dogs!
Mao Zedong
Image
Swollen in head, weak in legs, sharp in tongue but empty in belly.
Mao Zedong
Image
Communism has nothing to do with love. Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy.
Mao Zedong
Image
Let's contemplate this, how many people would die if war breaks out. There are 2.7 billion people in the world. One-third could be lost or, a little more, it could be half... I say that, taking the extreme situation, half dies, half lives, but imperialism would be razed to the ground and the whole world would become socialist.
Mao Zedong
Image
Revolutionary war is an antitoxin which not only eliminates the enemy's poison but also purges us of our own filth.
Mao Zedong
Image
There may be thousands of principles of Marxism, but in the final analysis they can be summed up in one sentence: Rebellion is justified.
Mao Zedong
Image
Everything under heaven is in utter chaos the situation is excellent.
Mao Zedong
Image
The arrow of Marxist-Leninism must be used to hit the target of the Chinese Revolution.
Mao Zedong
Image
There should be celebration rallies when people die... We believe in dialectics, and so we can't not be in favor of death.
Mao Zedong
