More quotes by Nikita Khrushchev
I happened to read recently a remark by the American nuclear physicist W.

The living will envy the dead.
Nikita Khrushchev
The purpose of the United Nations should be to protect the essential sovereignty of nations, large and small.
Nikita Khrushchev
Call it what you will, incentives are what get people to work harder.
Nikita Khrushchev

Nikita Khrushchev
If you cannot catch a bird of paradise, better take a wet hen.
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. But both sides showed that if the desire to avoid war is strong enough, even the most pressing dispute can be solved by compromise. And a compromise over Cuba was indeed found.
Nikita Khrushchev
There are still some people who think that we have Stalin to thank for all our progress, who quake before Stalin's dirty under-draws, who stand at attention and salute them.
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

Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all

The main difference for the history of the world if I had been shot rather than Kennedy is that Onassis probably wouldn't have married Mrs Khrushchev.

But life is a great school. It thrashes and bangs and teaches you.
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
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!

Revolutions are not made for export.
