"You cannot make a revolution with silk..." - Quote by Joseph Stalin

“We desire to give the Soviet people absolute liberty of voting for those they desire to elect, those whom they trust to ensure their interests.”

“We built [socialistic society] for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks.”

“It was necessary, temporarily, to limit certain requirements, accumulate necessary means, strain forces. We acted precisely in this way and built a socialist society.”

“No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer.”

“Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.”

“Everything I see about me is sowing the seeds of a revolution that is inevitable, though I shall not have the pleasure of seeing it. The lightning is so close at hand that it will strike at the first chance, and then there will be a pretty uproar. The young are fortunate, for they will see fine things.”

“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”

“The whole idea of motivation is a trap, forget motivation, just do it”

“And what is a man without energy? Nothing - nothing at all.”
