People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
Mao Zedong
Image
We Communists are like seeds and the people are like the soil. Wherever we go, we must unite with the people, take root and blossom among them.
Mao Zedong
Image
Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is good that since the outbreak of the war with Japan, more and more revolutionary writers have been coming to Yan'an... But it does not necessarily follow that... they have integrated themselves completely with the masses here. The two must be completely integrated if we are to push ahead with our revolutionary work.
Mao Zedong

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
It's sadly predictable that the only way you can come up with a way to celebrate the liberation you feel at leaving the old system behind is by coming up with a system of liberation, as if such a thing could exist - but that's what we can expect from those who have never known anything other than systems and systematizing, I guess.

Be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.

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.

All reactionaries are paper tigers.
Mao Zedong
Image
Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.
Mao Zedong
Image
Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution.
Mao Zedong

Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
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
Today the whole world depends on communism for its salvation, and China is no exception.
Mao Zedong
Image
Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.
Mao Zedong
Image
Imperialism is a paper tiger.
Mao Zedong
Image
Communism has nothing to do with love. Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy.
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.

The arrow of Marxist-Leninism must be used to hit the target of the Chinese Revolution.
