More quotes by Mao Zedong
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
Take the ideas of the masses (scattered and unsystematic ideas) and concentrate them (through study turn them into concentrated and systematic ideas), then go to the masses and propagate and explain these ideas until the masses embrace them as their own
Mao Zedong
As far as world war goes, there are really only two possibilities: either war provokes revolution, or revolution averts war.
Mao Zedong

Mao Zedong
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
I am alone with the masses.
Mao Zedong
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
You can't solve a problem? Well, get down and investigate the present facts and [the problem's] past history! When you have investigated the problem thoroughly, you will know how to solve it.
Mao Zedong
In time of difficulties, we must not lose sight of our achievements.
Mao Zedong
If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution.
Mao Zedong
Communists must be ready at all times to stand up for the truth, because truth is in the interests of the people Communists must be ready at all times to correct their mistakes, because mistakes are against the interests of the people.
Mao Zedong
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
[Khrushchev] should get a one-ton medal.
Mao Zedong
There is great disorder in the heavens, and the situation is excellent.
