Mikhail Gorbachev
Americans have a severe disease - worse than AIDS. It's called the winner's complex.
Mikhail Gorbachev
I began to feel the desire for something more I wanted to do something to make things better.

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
God has given us enough wisdom to make improvements in our relations.
Mikhail Gorbachev
No one, no single center, can today command the world. No single group of countries can do it. Under the current U.S. president, I don't think we can fundamentally change the situation as it is developing now. It is dangerous. The world is experiencing a period of growing global disarray.
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
We were nearly one of the last to realize that in the age of information science the most expensive asset is knowledge.
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.
