More quotes by Mao Zedong
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
Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
Mao Zedong
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.
Mao Zedong
The most important thing is to be strong. With strength, one can conquer others, and to conquer others gives one virtue.
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
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
Mao Zedong
The serious problem is the education of the peasantry. The peasant economy is scattered, and the socialization of agriculture, judging by the Soviet Union's experience, will require a long time and painstaking work. Without socialization of agriculture, there can be no complete, consolidated socialism.
Mao Zedong
The seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution. This Marxist-Leninist principle of revolution holds well universally, for China and for all other countries.
Mao Zedong
Conditions are changing all the time, and to adapt one's thinking to the new conditions, one must study. Even those who have a better grasp of Marxism and are comparatively firm in their proletarian stand have to go on studying, have to absorb what is new and study new problems.
Mao Zedong
The Red Army is like a furnace in which all captured soldiers are melted down and transformed the moment they come over.
Mao Zedong
When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill.
Mao Zedong
The arrow of Marxist-Leninism must be used to hit the target of the Chinese Revolution.
Mao Zedong
Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.
Mao Zedong
Revolutions and revolutionary wars are inevitable in class society, and without them it is impossible to accomplish any leap in social development and to overthrow the reactionary ruling classes and therefore impossible for the people to win political power.
Mao Zedong
In literary and art criticism there are two criteria, the political and the artistic.
Mao Zedong
The main form of struggle is war the main form of organization is the army... . Without armed struggle there would be no place for the proletariat, there will be no place for the people, there will be no place for the Communist Party, and there will be no victory in revolution.
Mao Zedong
There is a serious tendency toward capitalism among the well-to-do peasants.
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
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
[Khrushchev] should get a one-ton medal.
