More quotes by Nikita Khrushchev
I know what I say at times is not very diplomatic.
Nikita Khrushchev
The Americans have surrounded our country with military bases and threatened us with nuclear weapons, and now they will learn just what it feels like to have enemy missiles pointed at you we'd be doing nothing more than giving them a little of their own medicine.
Nikita Khrushchev
I don't understand the music but I certainly understand the girl singer!
Nikita Khrushchev
I happened to read recently a remark by the American nuclear physicist W. Davidson, who noted that the explosion of one hydrogen bomb releases a greater amount of energy than all the explosions set off by all countries in all wars known in the entire history of mankind. And he, apparently, is right.
Nikita Khrushchev
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.
Nikita Khrushchev
We say the name of God, but that is only habit.
Nikita Khrushchev
You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.
Nikita Khrushchev
The USA and USSR will only agree when shrimps learn to fly.
Nikita Khrushchev
Everyone can err, but Stalin considered that he never erred, that he was always right. He never acknowledged to anyone that he made any mistake, large or small, despite the fact that he made not a few mistakes in the matter of theory and in his practical activity.
Nikita Khrushchev
President Roosevelt proved that a President could serve for life. Truman proved that anyone could be elected. Eisenhower proved that your country can be run without a President.
Nikita Khrushchev
The United States will eventually fly the Communist red flag…The American people will hoist it themselves.
Nikita Khrushchev
When I was young, I worked for a capitalist twelve hours a day and I was always tired. Now I work for myself twenty hours a day and I never get tired
Nikita Khrushchev
I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist.
Nikita Khrushchev
What innocence, may I ask, is being played here when it is known that this virtuous damsel has already got a dozen illegitimate children?
Nikita Khrushchev
Just imagine: I, a Premier, a Soviet representative, when I came here to this city, I was given a plan - a program of what I was to be shown and whom I was to meet here. But just now, I was told that I could not go to Disneyland. I asked, 'Why not?' What is it, do you have rocket-launching pads there? I do not know
Nikita Khrushchev
Do you think when two representatives holding diametrically opposing views get together and shake hands, the contradictions between our systems will simply melt away? What kind of a daydream is that?
Nikita Khrushchev
The living will envy the dead.
Nikita Khrushchev
Any fool can start a war, and once he's done so, even the wisest of men are helpless to stop it - especially if it's a nuclear war.
Nikita Khrushchev
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Nikita Khrushchev
the construction of a communist society would be completed 'in the main' by 1980
