Mao Zedong

In waking a tiger, use a long stick.

To read too many books is harmful.

The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.

War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.

All reactionaries are paper tigers.

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

Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend.

Women hold up half the sky.
