"Weapons are an important factor in war,..." - Quote by Mao Zedong

“The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.”

“It is right to rebel against reactionaries.”

“It was the Russians that introduced the Chinese to Marxism. Before the October Revolution, the Chinese were not only ignorant of Lenin and Stalin but did not even know of Marx or Engels. The salvos of the October Revolution awoke us to Marxism-Leninism.”

“It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.”

“History doesn't mean dates and wars and textbooks to me; it means the unconquerable pioneer spirit of man.”

“It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men.”

“If one must fight one should confine oneself to conventional weapons.”

“I am both pleased but astonished by the fact that mankind has not yet begun to use all the means and devices that are available for destruction. I hope that such weapons are never manufactured in quantity.”

“Weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don’t belong on our streets.”
