Quote

Three Songs 1 Mountain. I whip my quick horse and don't dismount and look back in wonder. The sky is three feet away. 2 Mountain. The sea collapses and the river boils. Innumerable horses race insanely into the peak of battle. 3 Mountain. Peaks pierce the green sky, unblunted. The sky would fall but for the columns of mountains.

The Chinese people have stood up.
Mao Zedong
Image
The arrow of Marxist-Leninism must be used to hit the target of the Chinese Revolution.
Mao Zedong
Image
Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment.
Mao Zedong
Image
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
Image
As for people who are politically backward, Communists should not slight or despise them, but should befriend them, unite with them, convince them and encourage them to go forward.
Mao Zedong
Image
If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is quite possible that China may reach the stages of socialism and communism considerably later than your countries in the West which are so much more highly developed economically.
Mao Zedong
Image
Let a hundred flowers bloom.
Mao Zedong
Image
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Mao Zedong
Image
The great man, Genghis Khan, only knew how to shoot eagles with an arrow. The past is past. To see real heroes, look around you.
Mao Zedong
Image
Investigation may be likened to the long months of pregnancy, and solving a problem to the day of birth. To investigate a problem is, indeed, to solve it.
Mao Zedong
Image
Firstly, do not fear hardship, and secondly, do not fear death.
Mao Zedong
Image
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
Image
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Mao Zedong
Image
Women hold up half the sky.
Mao Zedong
Image
Look at World War II, at Hitler's cruelty. The more cruelty, the more enthusiasm for revolution.
Mao Zedong
Image
The Red Army is like a furnace in which all captured soldiers are melted down and transformed the moment they come over.
Mao Zedong
Image
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
Image
The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. Young people, full of vigour and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you...The world belongs to you. China's future belongs to you.
Mao Zedong

I have witnessed the tremendous energy of the masses. On this foundation it is possible to accomplish any task whatsoever.
