He was a crystal of morality among our scientists.
Nikita Khrushchev
Image
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

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
Image
The dictatorship of the proletariat and the leadership of the Marxist-Leninist party are indispensable conditions for the triumph of the Socialist revolution and the building of Socialism.

The one who loses his head no longer cares about his hair.

Let there be more corn and more meat and let there be no hydrogen bombs at all.
Nikita Khrushchev
Image
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.

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.

Freedom in capitalist countries exists only for those who possess money and who consequently hold power.

In the future, if nuclear weapons are unleashed there will be no front and no rear.

Call it what you will, incentives are what get people to work harder.
Nikita Khrushchev
Image
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
Image
In a fight you don't stop to choose your cudgels.
Nikita Khrushchev
Image
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

The USA and USSR will only agree when shrimps learn to fly.
Nikita Khrushchev
Image
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
Image
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.
Nikita Khrushchev
Image
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.

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

When you are skinning your customers, you should leave some skin on to heal, so that you can skin them again.
