More quotes by Mao Zedong
Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution.
Mao Zedong
So long as a person who has made mistakes . . . honestly and sincerely wishes to be cured and to mend his ways, we should welcome him and cure his sickness so that he can become a good comrade. We can never succeed if we just let ourselves go and lash at him.
Mao Zedong
The sky is no bigger than the mouth of the well.
Mao Zedong
If one must fight one should confine oneself to conventional weapons.
Mao Zedong

Mao Zedong
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.
Mao Zedong
Many who have read Marxist books have become renegades from the revolution, whereas illiterate workers often grasp Marxism very well.

The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.
Mao Zedong
Let a hundred flowers bloom.
Mao Zedong
The world is progressing, the future is bright and no one can change this general trend of history. We should carry on constant propaganda among the people on the facts of world progress and the bright future ahead so that they will build their confidence in victory.
Mao Zedong
The most important thing is to be strong. With strength, one can conquer others, and to conquer others gives one virtue.
