Man must conquer nature.

Napoleon was the best method. Dissolved all representative institutions and it decided who should rule the state with him.
Mao Zedong
Image
The popular masses are like water, and the army is like a fish. How then can it be said that when there is water, a fish will have difficulty in preserving its existence? An army which fails to maintain good discipline gets into opposition with the popular masses, and thus by its own action dries up the water.
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.

Communism has nothing to do with love. Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy.

People of the world, unite and defeat the U.S. aggressors and all their running dogs!
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

...it is impossible for a genuine people's revolution in any country to win victory without various forms of help from the international revolutionary forces.
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

We should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports

Let a hundred flowers bloom.

Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.
Mao Zedong
Image
The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.
Mao Zedong

To Be Attacked by the Enemy Is Not a Bad Thing but a Good Thing.
Mao Zedong
Image
When the enemy advances, withdraw when he stops, harass when he tires, strike when he retreats, pursue.

Many who have read Marxist books have become renegades from the revolution, whereas illiterate workers often grasp Marxism very well.
Mao Zedong
Image
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
Image
What is work? Work is struggle. There are difficulties and problems in those places for us to overcome and solve. We go there to work and struggle to overcome these difficulties. A good comrade is one who is more eager to go where the difficulties are greater.
