More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
Sometimes quantity has a quality all its own.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Atheism is the natural and inseparable part of Communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A democracy is a state which recognizes the subjection of the minority to the majority, that is, an organization for the systematic use of violence by one class against the other, by one part of the population against another.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The only one who doesn't make mistakes is the one who doesn't do anything.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All contemporary religions and churches, all and every kind of religious organization, Marxism has always viewed as organs of bourgeois reaction, serving as a defense of exploitation and the doping of the working-classes.
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
It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You must act with all energy. Mass searches. Execution for concealing arms.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One man with a gun can control 100 without one.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Freedom of speech and the press must be complete. But then freedom of association must be complete too.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When a liberal is abused, he says, ‘Thank God they didn’t beat me.’ When he is beaten, he thanks God they didn’t kill him. When he is killed, he will thank God that his immortal soul has been delivered from its mortal clay.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The Bolshevik slogans and ideas on the whole have been confirmed by history but concretely things have worked out differently they are more original, more peculiar, more varied than anyone could have expected.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Ideological talk and phrase mongering about political liberties should be disposed with all that is just mere chatter and phrase mongering. We should get away from those phrases.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Those who are really convinced that they have made progress in science would not demand freedom for the new views to continue side by side with the old, but the substitution of the new views for the old.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
But democracy is by no means a limit one may not overstep it is only one of the stages in the course of development from feudalism to capitalism, and from capitalism to Communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.
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
As an ultimate objective, peace simply means communist world control.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A political leader who desires to be useful to the revolutionary proletariat must be able to distinguish concrete cases of compromises that are inexcusable and are an expression of opportunism and treachery.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Face the truth squarely. In politics that is always the best and the only correct attitude.
Vladimir Lenin
