Mikhail Gorbachev
My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
Mikhail Gorbachev

Mikhail Gorbachev
My goal was to avoid bloodshed. But unfortunately there was some bloodshed, after all.
Mikhail Gorbachev
I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Those who are late will be punished by life itself.
Mikhail Gorbachev
In October 1917, we parted with the old world, rejecting it once and for all. We are moving toward a new world, a world of Communism. We shall never turn off that road.
Mikhail Gorbachev
It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.
