Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment.

More quotes by Mao Zedong
We shall heal our wounds, collect our dead and continue fighting.
Mao Zedong
The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
Mao Zedong
Look at World War II, at Hitler's cruelty. The more cruelty, the more enthusiasm for revolution.
Mao Zedong
Conditions are changing all the time, and to adapt one's thinking to the new conditions, one must study. Even those who have a better grasp of Marxism and are comparatively firm in their proletarian stand have to go on studying, have to absorb what is new and study new problems.
Mao Zedong
As for the imperialist countries, we should unite with their peoples and strive to coexist peacefully with those countries, do business with them and prevent any possible war, but under no circumstances should we harbour any unrealistic notions about them.
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
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
Communists should be the most farsighted, the most self-sacrificing, the most resolute, and the least prejudiced in sizing up situations, and should rely on the majority of the masses and win their support.
Mao Zedong
Learn to swim. It is a sport all the peasants can play.
Mao Zedong
A strategic plan based on the over-all situation of both belligerents is ... more stable, but it too is applicable only in a given strategic stage and has to be changed when the war moves towards a new stage. ... [Conversely, tactical plans may] ... have to be changed several times a day.
Mao Zedong
Many who have read Marxist books have become renegades from the revolution, whereas illiterate workers often grasp Marxism very well.
Mao Zedong
The Red Army is like a furnace in which all captured soldiers are melted down and transformed the moment they come over.
Mao Zedong
Let the ancient serve the present, let the foreign serve the national by developing that which has been accomplished one creates something that is new.
Mao Zedong
All reactionaries are paper tigers.
Mao Zedong
Every Communist working in the mass movements should be a friend of the masses and not a boss over them, an indefatigable teacher and not a bureaucratic politician.
Mao Zedong
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it.
Mao Zedong
As far as world war goes, there are really only two possibilities: either war provokes revolution, or revolution averts war.
Mao Zedong
Man must conquer nature.
Mao Zedong
...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
Whoever has an army has power and that war decides everything.
Mao Zedong
