Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.
Despise the enemy strategically, but take him seriously tactically.

I voted for you during your last election. (To President Richard M Nixon)
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Once all struggle is grasped, miracles are possible.
Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive.
Revolution is not a dinner party, not an essay, nor a painting, nor a piece of embroidery it cannot be advanced softly, gradually, carefully, considerately, respectfully, politely, plainly and modestly.
Swollen in head, weak in legs, sharp in tongue but empty in belly. (On intellectuals)
