The Weekly "Quotations from Mao"
Is anyone getting tired from these quotations? I like to think they provide a little political commentary, however odd that might sound, on current global situations. On the plus side, I'm now #10 on Google for "Mao". Anyway...
Mao said:
"Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet" is a Chinese fold saying to describe the behaviour of certain fools. The reactionaries in all countries are fools of this kind. In the final analysis, their persecution of the revolutionary people only serves to accelerate the people's revolutions on a broader and more intense scale. Did not the persecution of the revolutionary people by the tsar of Russia and by Chiang Kai-Shek perform this function in the great Russian and Chinese revolutions? - November, 1957

The Great Conducator has my vote! Uh, wait, that was Nicolae Ceausescu. His favorite dish was tomatoes, feta and raw onions.

We were always Quotations of Chairman LBJ fans. "Don't spit in the soup, we've all got to eat" and "There are three great American contributions to world culture: toilet paper, the barbeque and finger fucking".
