"If the opposition disarms, well and good...." - Quote by Joseph Stalin

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

“I fail to see what dangers surrounding states can see in the ideas of the Soviet people if these states are really firmly seated in their saddles.”

“We think that a powerful and vigorous movement is impossible without differences - "true conformity" is possible only in the cemetery.”

“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.”

“I'm the most brutal and ruthless conquerer there has ever been.”

“The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.”

“The common enemy is the white man.”

“We should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports”

“It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and even mortal persecution.”
