We are indebted to Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin for giving us a weapon. The weapon is not a machine-gun, but Marxism-Leninism.

More quotes by Mao Zedong
Learn to swim. It is a sport all the peasants can play.
Mao Zedong
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
Once all struggles are grasped, miracles are possible.
Mao Zedong
[Khrushchev] should get a one-ton medal.
Mao Zedong
Don't wait untill problems pile up and cause a lot of trouble before trying to solve them. Leaders must march ahead the movement, not lag behind it.
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
All reactionaries are paper tigers.
Mao Zedong
In a suitable temperature, an egg becomes a chicken, and there are no chickens born of stones.
Mao Zedong
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
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
It is a very good thing, and a significant one too, to exterminate the bourgeoisie and capitalism in China.
Mao Zedong
Communists should set an example in being practical as well as far-sighted. For only by being practical can they fulfil the appointed tasks, and only far-sightedness can prevent them from losing their bearings in the march forward.
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
Today the whole world depends on communism for its salvation, and China is no exception.
Mao Zedong
The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.
Mao Zedong
Communists should set an example in study at all times they should be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.
Mao Zedong
Whoever has an army has power and that war decides everything.
Mao Zedong
Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.
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
All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Mao Zedong
