The Red Army is like a furnace in which all captured soldiers are melted down and transformed the moment they come over.

More quotes by 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
Learn to swim. It is a sport all the peasants can play.
Mao Zedong
In time of difficulties, we must not lose sight of our achievements.
Mao Zedong
There is a serious tendency toward capitalism among the well-to-do peasants.
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
Ours is a people's democratic dictatorship, led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance.
Mao Zedong
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.
Mao Zedong
Be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.
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
If one must fight one should confine oneself to conventional weapons.
Mao Zedong
Not to have a correct political point of view is like having no soul.
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
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
Mao Zedong
The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
Mao Zedong
Many people think it impossible for guerrillas to exist for long in the enemy's rear. Such a belief reveals lack of comprehension of the relationship that should exist between the people and the troops. The former may be likened to water the latter to the fish who inhabit it. How may it be said that these two cannot exist together?
Mao Zedong
By over-all planning, we mean planning which takes into consideration the interests of the 600 million people of our country. In drawing up plans, handling affairs or thinking over problems, we must proceed from the fact that China has a population of 600 million people, and we must never forget this fact.
Mao Zedong
Firstly, do not fear hardship, and secondly, do not fear death.
Mao Zedong
If there were no contradictions and no struggle, there would be no world, no process, no life, and there would be nothing at all.
Mao Zedong
An army of the people is invincible!
Mao Zedong
Let's contemplate this, how many people would die if war breaks out. There are 2.7 billion people in the world. One-third could be lost or, a little more, it could be half... I say that, taking the extreme situation, half dies, half lives, but imperialism would be razed to the ground and the whole world would become socialist.
Mao Zedong
