More quotes by Mikhail Gorbachev
The phenomenon of UFOs does exist, and it must be treated seriously.
Mikhail Gorbachev
You are fortunate to live here. If I were your President, I would levy a tax on you for living in San Francisco!
Mikhail Gorbachev
I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The forests of Russia and Brazil are the lungs of the Earth.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Dangers await only those who do not react to life.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Those who are late will be punished by life itself.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The Union was destroyed against the will of the people, and it was done deliberately - with the participation of the Russian leadership, on the one hand, and that of the putschists, on the other.
Mikhail Gorbachev
My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
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
Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for mankind.
Mikhail Gorbachev
I believe, as Lenin said, that this revolutionary chaos may yet crystallize into new forms of life.
Mikhail Gorbachev
You cannot go to sleep with one form of economic system and wake up the next morning with another.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Globalization was supposed to break down barriers between continents and bring all peoples together. But what kind of globalization do we have with over one billion people on the planet not having safe water to drink?
Mikhail Gorbachev
Nature is reminding us that it used to exist without human beings.
Mikhail Gorbachev
America must be the teacher of democracy, not the advertiser of the consumer society. It is unrealistic for the rest of the world to reach the American living standard.
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
Sometimes its difficult to accept, to recognise ones own mistakes, but one must do it. I was guilty of overconfidence and arrogance, and I was punished for that.
Mikhail Gorbachev
We are all passengers aboard one ship, the Earth, and we must not allow it to be wrecked. There will be no second Noah's Ark.
Mikhail Gorbachev
History punishes those that come late to it.
Mikhail Gorbachev
