Conditions are changing all the time, and to adapt one's thinking to the new conditions, one must study. Even those who have a better grasp of Marxism and are comparatively firm in their proletarian stand have to go on studying, have to absorb what is new and study new problems.

Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.

I am alone with the masses.

Let's contemplate this, how many people would die if war breaks out. There are 2.7 billion people in the world. One-third could be lost; or, a little more, it could be half... I say that, taking the extreme situation, half dies, half lives, but imperialism would be razed to the ground and the whole world would become socialist.

Every comrade must be brought to understand that the supreme test of the words and deeds of a Communist is whether they conform with the highest interests and enjoy the support of the overwhelming majority of the people.

All the rest of the world uses the word electricity. They've borrowed the word from English. But we Chinese have our own word for it!

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
