More quotes by Mao Zedong
Imperialism is a paper tiger.
Mao Zedong
The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.
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
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
We must have faith, first, that the peasant masses are ready to advance step by step along the road of socialism under the leadership of the Party, and second, that the Party is capable of leading the peasants along this road. These two points are the essence of the matter, the main current.
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
We are indebted to Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin for giving us a weapon. The weapon is not a machine-gun, but Marxism-Leninism.
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
There is in guerrilla warfare no such thing as a decisive battle there is nothing comparable to the fixed, passive defense that characterizes orthodox war.
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
Ours is a people's democratic dictatorship, led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance.
Mao Zedong
The socialist system will eventually replace the capitalist system this is an objective law independent of man's will. However much the reactionaries try to hold back the wheel of history, eventually revolution will take place and will inevitably triumph.
Mao Zedong
Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
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
There is no such thing as abstract Marxism, only concrete Marxism... The Sinofication of Marxism - that is, making certain that its manifestation is imbued with Chinese peculiarities - is a problem that must be understood and solved by the party without delay.
Mao Zedong
We shall heal our wounds, collect our dead and continue fighting.
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
The sky is no bigger than the mouth of the well.
Mao Zedong
Once all struggles are grasped, miracles are possible.
Mao Zedong
All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Mao Zedong
