More quotes by 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
But life is a great school. It thrashes and bangs and teaches you.
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
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.
Nikita Khrushchev
If you live among dogs, keep a stick. After all, this is what a hound has teeth for-to bite when he feels like it!
Nikita Khrushchev
The two most powerful nations of the world had been squared off against each other, each with its finger on the button. You'd have thought that war was inevitable.

Nikita Khrushchev
Support by United States rulers is rather in the nature of the support that the rope gives to a hanged man.
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
In the future, if nuclear weapons are unleashed there will be no front and no rear.
Nikita Khrushchev
Call it what you will, incentives are what get people to work harder.
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
The one who loses his head no longer cares about his hair.
Nikita Khrushchev
The John Birch Society is Communism's greatest ally. With its help we will divide and confuse the American people until they have lost faith in their Government, their nation has ceased to be a major world power, and their country is ripe for revolution.
Nikita Khrushchev
If you start throwing hedgehogs under me, I shall throw a couple of porcupines under you.

In a fight you don't stop to choose your cudgels.
