Every Communist working in the mass movements should be a friend of the masses and not a boss over them, an indefatigable teacher and not a bureaucratic politician.

More quotes by Mao Zedong
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.
Mao Zedong
Reactionaries must be deprived of the right to voice their opinions only the people have that right.
Mao Zedong
When we look at thing, we must examine its essence and treat its appearance merely as an usher at the threshold, we must, once we cross the threshold, grasp the essence of the thing.
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
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
Communists should be the most farsighted, the most self-sacrificing, the most resolute, and the least prejudiced in sizing up situations, and should rely on the majority of the masses and win their support.
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
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Mao Zedong
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
Ours is a people's democratic dictatorship, led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance.
Mao Zedong
We shall heal our wounds, collect our dead and continue fighting.
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
Everything under heaven is in utter chaos the situation is excellent.
Mao Zedong
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
It is a very good thing, and a significant one too, to exterminate the bourgeoisie and capitalism in China.
Mao Zedong
Not to have a correct political point of view is like having no soul.
Mao Zedong
The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.
Mao Zedong
There is great disorder in the heavens, and the situation is excellent.
Mao Zedong
Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution.
Mao Zedong
The attitude of Communists towards any person who has made mistakes in his work should be one of persuasion in order to help him change and start afresh and not one of exclusion, unless he is incorrigible.
Mao Zedong
