Mao Zedong
It's always darkest before it becomes totally black.
Mao Zedong
Today the whole world depends on communism for its salvation, and China is no exception.
Mao Zedong
Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution.
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
There should be celebration rallies when people die... We believe in dialectics, and so we can't not be in favor of death.
Mao Zedong
The only way to settle questions of an ideological nature or controversial issues among the people is by the democratic method, the method of discussion, of criticism, of persuasion and education, and not by the method of coercion or repression.
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.

Communism has nothing to do with love. Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy.
Mao Zedong
. . . dogma is less useful than cow dung. One can make whatever one likes out of it, even revisionism. . . .
Mao Zedong
Communists must listen attentively to the views of people outside the Party and let them have their say. If what they say is right, we ought to welcome it, and we should learn from their strong points if it is wrong, we should let them finish what they are saying and then patiently explain things to them.
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
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
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
I have witnessed the tremendous energy of the masses. On this foundation it is possible to accomplish any task whatsoever.
Mao Zedong
Communists must be ready at all times to stand up for the truth, because truth is in the interests of the people Communists must be ready at all times to correct their mistakes, because mistakes are against the interests of the people.
Mao Zedong
