Quote

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.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
You must act with all energy. Mass searches. Execution for concealing arms.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
In the last analysis, productivity of labour is the most important, the principal thing for the victory of the new social system.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The status of women up to now has been compared to that of a slave women have been tied to the home, and only socialism can save them from this. They will only be completely emancipated when we change from small-scale individual farming to collective farming and collective working of the land.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We shall not achieve socialism without a struggle.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Three keys to success: read, read, read.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Monopolies, oligarchy, the striving for domination and not for freedom, the exploitation of an increasing number of small or weak nations by a handful of the richest or most powerful nations -- all these have given birth to those distinctive characteristics of imperialism which compel us to define it as parasitic or decaying capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Germany will militarize herself out of existence, England will expand herself out of existence, and America will spend herself out of existence.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When we say the state, the state is We, it is we, it is the proletariat, it is the advanced guard of the working class.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Trust is good, but control is better.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Act with the greatest determination and on the offensive. The defensive is the death of every armed rising.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class.
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
All countries will inevitably have to do what Russia has done.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We do not have time to play at oppositions at conferences. We will keep our political opponents... whether open or disguised as nonparty, in prison.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
America has become one of the foremost countries in regard to the depth of the abyss which lies between the handful of arrogant multimillionaires who wallow in filth and luxury, and the millions of working people who constantly live on the verge of pauperism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Soviet power is a new type of state in which there is no bureacracy, no police, no standing army.
