More quotes by Mikhail Gorbachev
The model of the consumer society is something that will one day end. My personal view is that too much consumption is wrong.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Americans have a severe disease - worse than AIDS. It's called the winner's complex.
Mikhail Gorbachev
A new world order is taking shape so fast that governments as well as private citizens find it difficult just to absorb the gallop of events.
Mikhail Gorbachev
I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos.
Mikhail Gorbachev
If you want Russia to be a real fully developed partner, then America should invest in Russia and activate Russia as a strong nation.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The market came with the dawn of civilization and it is not an invention of capitalism. ... If it leads to improving the well-being of the people there is no contradiction with socialism.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The socialist tradition....goes back to Jesus Christ, not (Karl) Marx.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Dangers await only those who do not react to life.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Today, peace means the ascent from simple coexistence to cooperation and common creativity among countries and nations.
Mikhail Gorbachev
We desperately need to recognise that we are the guests, not the masters, of nature and adopt a new paradigm for development, based on the costs and benefits to all people, and bound by the limits of nature herself rather than the limits of technology and consumerism.
Mikhail Gorbachev
It sometimes seems to me that some of our Western partners do not want Russia to fully recover. They would like Russia to be in a subdued state, and they want Russian resources to be used for the benefit of the U.S. economy.
Mikhail Gorbachev
We need a new system of values, a system of the organic unity between humankind and nature and the ethic of global responsibility.
Mikhail Gorbachev
I certainly wouldn't say that we loved the arms race. Trillions of dollars were used to stoke it. For our economy, which was smaller in size than the American economy, it was a burden. But one cannot agree with the statement that the arms race played the key role in the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Mikhail Gorbachev
We used to have just one criterion and that was profit, and then another criterion was added - social welfare. Now we have to add the third important criterion, and that is nature and the environment.
Mikhail Gorbachev
It is better to discuss things, to argue and engage in polemics than make perfidious plans of mutual destruction.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The most important thing is who counts the votes.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Contemporary social democracy is what I believe is the right concept.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a new world order.
Mikhail Gorbachev
We had 10 years after the Cold War to build a new world order and yet we squandered them. The United States cannot tolerate anyone acting independently. Every US president has to have a war.
Mikhail Gorbachev
I think the United States is sick. It suffers from the sickness, the disease of being the victor and it needs to cure itself from this disease.
