More quotes by Mao Zedong
All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right.
Mao Zedong
In a suitable temperature, an egg becomes a chicken, and there are no chickens born of stones.
Mao Zedong
Many people think it impossible for guerrillas to exist for long in the enemy's rear. Such a belief reveals lack of comprehension of the relationship that should exist between the people and the troops. The former may be likened to water the latter to the fish who inhabit it. How may it be said that these two cannot exist together?
Mao Zedong
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it.
Mao Zedong
It's always darkest before it becomes totally black.
Mao Zedong
An army of the people is invincible!
Mao Zedong
Look at World War II, at Hitler's cruelty. The more cruelty, the more enthusiasm for revolution.
Mao Zedong
Napoleon was the best method. Dissolved all representative institutions and it decided who should rule the state with him.
Mao Zedong
...the evil system of colonialism and imperialism arose and throve with the enslavement of Negroes and the trade in Negroes, and it will surely come to its end with the complete emancipation of the Black people.
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
All our officers and fighters must always bear in mind that we are the great People's Liberation Army, we are the troops led by the great Communist Party of China. Provided we constantly observe the directives of the Party, we are sure to win.
Mao Zedong
The sky is no bigger than the mouth of the well.
Mao Zedong
The government burns down whole cities while the people are forbidden to light lamps.
Mao Zedong
Be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.
Mao Zedong
It is up to us to organize the people. As for the reactionaries in China, it is up to us to organize the people to overthrow them. Everything reactionary is the same if you do not hit it, it will not fall. This is also like sweeping the floor as a rule, where the broom does not reach, the dust will not vanish of itself.
Mao Zedong
All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
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
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
In general, any form of exercise, if pursued continuously, will help train us in perseverance. Long-distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
Mao Zedong
. . . dogma is less useful than cow dung. One can make whatever one likes out of it, even revisionism. . . .
