Text Quotes
In times of difficulty we must not lose sight of our achievements, must see the bright future and must pluck up our courage  (Mao Zedong Quotes) New things always have to experience difficulties and setbacks as they grow. It is sheer fantasy to imagine that the cause of socialism is all plain sailing and easy success, without difficulties and setbacks or the exertion of tremendous efforts  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution  (Mao Zedong Quotes) The masses are the real heroes, while we ourselves are often childish and ignorant, and without this understanding, it is impossible to acquire even the most rudimentary knowledge  (Mao Zedong Quotes) If we have a correct theory but merely prate about it, pigeonhole it and do not put it into practice, then that theory, however good, is of no significance  (Mao Zedong Quotes) We must learn to do economic work from all who know how, no matter who they are. We must esteem them as teachers, learning from them respectfully and conscientiously. We must not pretend to know when we do not know  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Communists must be ready at all times to stand up for the truth, because truth is in the interests of the people; Communists must be ready at all times to correct their mistakes, because mistakes are against the interests of the people  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Communists should set an example in study; at all times they should be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers  (Mao Zedong Quotes) War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations, states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Just because we have won victory, we must never relax our vigilance against the frenzied plots for revenge by the imperialists and their running dogs. Whoever relaxes vigilance will disarm himself politically and land himself in a passive position  (Mao Zedong Quotes) When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill  (Mao Zedong Quotes) There should be celebration rallies when people die... We believe in dialectics, and so we can’t not be in favor of death  (Mao Zedong Quotes) People say that poverty is bad, but in fact poverty is good. The poorer people are, the more revolutionary they are. It is dreadful to imagine a time when everyone will be rich... From a surplus of calories people will have two heads and four legs  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Some play the piano well and some badly and there is a great difference in the melodies they produce  (Mao Zedong Quotes) If there were no contradictions and no struggle, there would be no world, no process, no life, and there would be nothing at all  (Mao Zedong Quotes) A man’s head is not like a scallion, which will grow again if you cut it off; if you cut it off wrongly, then even if you want to correct your error, there is no way of doing it  (Mao Zedong Quotes) A revolution does not march a straight line. It wanders where it can, retreats before superior forces, advances wherever it has room, attacks whenever the enemy retreats or bluffs, and above all, is possessed of enormous patience  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Revolution is a drama of passion. We did not win the people over by appealing to reason but by developing hope, trust, fraternity  (Mao Zedong Quotes) The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them  (Mao Zedong Quotes) When guerillas engage a stronger enemy, they withdraw when he advances, harass him when he stops, strike him when he is weary, pursue him when he withdraws  (Mao Zedong Quotes) The most important thing is to be strong. With strength, one can conquer others, and to conquer others gives one virtue  (Mao Zedong Quotes) As far as world war goes, there are really only two possibilities: either war provokes revolution, or revolution averts war  (Mao Zedong Quotes) A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another  (Mao Zedong Quotes) The socialist system will eventually replace the capitalist system; this is an objective law independent of man’s will. However much the reactionaries try to hold back the wheel of history, eventually revolution will take place and will inevitably triumph  (Mao Zedong Quotes) We should never pretend to know what we don’t know, we should not feel ashamed to ask and learn from people below, and we should listen carefully to the views of the cadres at the lowest levels. Be a pupil before you become a teacher; learn from the cadres at the lower levels before you issue orders  (Mao Zedong Quotes) The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. Young people, full of vigour and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you... The world belongs to you. China’s future belongs to you  (Mao Zedong Quotes) At certain times in the revolutionary struggle, the difficulties outweigh the favorable conditions and so constitute the principal aspect of the contradiction and the favorable conditions constitute the secondary aspect. But through their efforts the revolutionaries can overcome the difficulties step by step and open up a favorable new situation, thus a difficult situation yields place to a favorable one  (Mao Zedong Quotes) What is work? Work is struggle. There are difficulties and problems in those places for us to overcome and solve. We go there to work and struggle to overcome these difficulties. A good comrade is one who is more eager to go where the difficulties are greater  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Now, there are two different attitudes towards learning from others. One is the dogmatic attitude of transplanting everything, whether or not it is suited to our conditions. This is no good. The other attitude is to use our heads and learn those things that suit our conditions, that is, to absorb whatever experience is useful to us. That is the attitude we should adopt  (Mao Zedong Quotes) Those experienced in work must take up the study of theory and must read seriously; only then will they be able to systematize and synthesize their experience and raise it to the level of theory, only then will they not mistake their partial experience for universal truth and not commit empiricist errors  (Mao Zedong Quotes)
