The masses are the decisive element, they are the rock on which the final victory of the revolution will be built.

Freedom only for supporters of the government, only for the members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. Not because of any fanatical concept of 'justice' but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when 'freedom' becomes a special privilege.

There is no democracy without socialism, and no socialism without democracy.

Being human means throwing your whole life on the scales of destiny when need be, all the while rejoicing in every sunny day and every beautiful cloud.

The masses are the decisive element, they are the rock on which the final victory of the revolution will be built.

The more that social democracy develops, grows, and becomes stronger, the more the enlightened masses of workers will take their own destinies, the leadership of their movement, and the determination of its direction into their own hands.

Freedom only for the members of the government, only for the members of the Party - though they are quite numerous - is no freedom at all.
