There is great disorder in the heavens, and the situation is excellent.
Mao Zedong

Anyone who sees only the bright side but not the difficulties cannot fight effectively for the accomplishment of the Party's tasks.
Mao Zedong
Image
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

If what they say is right, we ought to welcome it, and we should learn from their strong points if it is wrong, we should let them finish what they are saying and then patiently explain things to them.
Mao Zedong

The sky is no bigger than the mouth of the well.
Mao Zedong
