Mao Zedong Thought was not created by Comrade Mao alone - other revolutionaries of the older generation played a part in forming and developing it - but primarily it embodies Comrade Mao's thinking. Nevertheless, victory made him less prudent, so that in his later years some unsound features and unsound ideas, chiefly "Left" ones, began to emerge. In quite a number of instances he went counter to his own ideas, counter to the fine and correct propositions he had previously put forward, and counter to the style of work he himself had advocated.

It should be pointed out that some of the things done after the arrest of the Gang of Four were inconsistent with Chairman Mao's wishes, for instance, the construction of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. He had proposed in the fifties that we should all be cremated when we died and that only our ashes be kept, that no remains should be preserved and no tombs built.

We must firmly grasp management. Just making things isn't enough. We need to raise the quality.

Do not debate! is one of my inventions.

Black cat, white cat, what does it matter as long as the cat catches mice?

Be reasonable with the students and make sure they see the logic in what we're doing.

No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
