More quotes by Mao Zedong
If we have a correct theory but merely prate about it, pigeonhole it and do not put it into practice, then that theory, however good, is of no significance.
Mao Zedong
Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.
Mao Zedong
Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
Mao Zedong
It is a very good thing, and a significant one too, to exterminate the bourgeoisie and capitalism in China.
Mao Zedong
The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.
Mao Zedong
Our country and all the other socialist countries want peace so do the peoples of all the countries of the world. The only ones who crave war and do not want peace are certain monopoly capitalist groups in a handful of imperialist countries that depend on aggression for their profits.
Mao Zedong
All reactionaries are paper tigers.
Mao Zedong
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
Mao Zedong
We should never pretend to know what we don't know, we should not feel ashamed to ask and learn from people below, and we should listen carefully to the views of the cadres at the lowest levels. Be a pupil before you become a teacher learn from the cadres at the lower levels before you issue orders.
Mao Zedong
Be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.
Mao Zedong
Today the whole world depends on communism for its salvation, and China is no exception.
Mao Zedong
Stalin made mistakes. He made mistakes towards us, for example, in 1927. He made mistakes towards the Yugoslavs too. One cannot advance without mistakes... It is necessary to make mistakes. The party cannot be educated without learning from mistakes. This has great significance.
Mao Zedong
Knowledge is a matter of science and no dishonesty or conceit whatsoever is permissible. What is required is definitely the reverse - honesty and modesty.
Mao Zedong
Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.
Mao Zedong
Revolutionary war is an antitoxin which not only eliminates the enemy's poison but also purges us of our own filth.
Mao Zedong
Napoleon was the best method. Dissolved all representative institutions and it decided who should rule the state with him.
Mao Zedong
People of the world, unite and defeat the U.S. aggressors and all their running dogs!
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
Swollen in head, weak in legs, sharp in tongue but empty in belly.
Mao Zedong
Women hold up half the sky.
Mao Zedong
