More quotes by 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
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
Communists should set an example in study at all times they should be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is a very good thing, and a significant one too, to exterminate the bourgeoisie and capitalism in China.
Mao Zedong
Image
Morality begins at the point of a gun.
Mao Zedong
Image
What is work? Work is struggle. There are difficulties and problems in those places for us to overcome and solve. We go there to work and struggle to overcome these difficulties. A good comrade is one who is more eager to go where the difficulties are greater.
Mao Zedong
Image
All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right.
Mao Zedong
Image
[Khrushchev] should get a one-ton medal.
Mao Zedong
Image
Whoever has an army has power and that war decides everything.
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
If one must fight one should confine oneself to conventional weapons.
Mao Zedong
Image
Even though I believe we should promote Chinese medicine, I personally do not believe in it. I don't take Chinese medicine.
Mao Zedong
Image
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
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
The arrow of Marxist-Leninism must be used to hit the target of the Chinese Revolution.
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
Image
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
Image
In literary and art criticism there are two criteria, the political and the artistic.
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
History shows that wars are divided into two kinds-just and unjust. All wars that are progressive are just, and all wars that impede progress are unjust.
Mao Zedong
