More quotes by 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
We should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports
Mao Zedong
Revolutionary war is an antitoxin which not only eliminates the enemy's poison but also purges us of our own filth.
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
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
The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.
Mao Zedong
People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
Mao Zedong
Let a hundred flowers bloom.
Mao Zedong
In a suitable temperature, an egg becomes a chicken, and there are no chickens born of stones.
Mao Zedong
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.
Mao Zedong
We must have faith, first, that the peasant masses are ready to advance step by step along the road of socialism under the leadership of the Party, and second, that the Party is capable of leading the peasants along this road. These two points are the essence of the matter, the main current.
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
There is in guerrilla warfare no such thing as a decisive battle there is nothing comparable to the fixed, passive defense that characterizes orthodox war.
Mao Zedong
To read too many books is harmful.
Mao Zedong
There may be thousands of principles of Marxism, but in the final analysis they can be summed up in one sentence: Rebellion is justified.
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
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
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
People of the world, unite and defeat the U.S. aggressors and all their running dogs!
Mao Zedong
Man must conquer nature.
Mao Zedong
