More quotes by 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
In a fight you don't stop to choose your cudgels.
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
I don't understand the music but I certainly understand the girl singer!
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
Of all cities in the United States I have seen, San Francisco is the most beautiful.
Nikita Khrushchev
If Adenauer were here with us in the sauna, we could see for ourselves that Germany is and will remain divided but also that Germany never will rise again.
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
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
No one is born a Communist... in the Soviet Union farmers keep on looking in the barn for their horses even after they have given them to the collective.
Nikita Khrushchev
America has been in existence for 150 years and this is the level she has reached. We have existed not quite 42 years and in another seven years we will be on the same level as America. When we catch you up, in passing you by, we will wave to you.
Nikita Khrushchev
If you feed the people just with revolutionary slogans they will listen today, they will listen tomorrow, they will listen the day after tomorrow, but on the fourth day they will say, To hell with you.
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
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.
Nikita Khrushchev
I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.
Nikita Khrushchev
Even now we feel that Stalin was devoted to Communism, he was a Marxist, this cannot and should not be denied.
Nikita Khrushchev
When you are skinning your customers, you should leave some skin on to heal, so that you can skin them again.
Nikita Khrushchev
No matter how humble a man's beginnings, he achieves the stature of the office to which he is elected.
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
