More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
The natural scientist must be a modern materialist, a conscious adherent of the materialism represented by Marx, i.e., he must be a dialectical materialist.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy's cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One must always try to be as radical as reality itself.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Russians are too kind, they lack the ability to apply determined methods of revolutionary terror.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All extremes are bad. All that is good and useful, if carried to extremes, may become-and beyond a certain limit is bound to become-bad and injurious.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Crime is a product of social excess.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Let the socialist snivellers croak, let the bourgeoisie rage and fume, but only people who shut their eyes so as not to see, and stuff their ears so as not to hear, can fail to notice that all over the world the birth pangs of the old, capitalist society, which is pregnant with socialism, have begun.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals war on the rogues, the idlers and the rowdies!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Any army which does not train to use all the weapons, all the means and methods of warfare that the enemy possesses, or may possess, is behaving in an unwise or even criminal manner. This applies to politics even more than it does to the art of war.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We are not shooting enough professors.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Hundreds of thousands and millions of wage slaves of capital and peasants downtrodden by the serf-owners are going to the slaughter for the dynastic interests of a handful of crowned brigands, for the profits of the bourgeoisie in its drive to plunder foreign lands.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Revolution can never be forecast it cannot be foretold it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Only struggle educates the exploited class. Only struggle discloses to it the magnitude of its own power, widens its horizon, enhances its abilities, clarifies its mind, forges its will.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We must pursue the removal of church property by any means necessary in order to secure for ourselves a fund of several hundred million gold rubles.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Comrade Stalin, having become Secretary-General, has unlimited authority concentrated in his hands, and I am not sure whether he will always be capable of using that authority with sufficient caution.
