Vladimir Lenin

Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.

Imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.

Every cook must learn how to govern the state.

We want a new class, a class of laborers without any property in the means of production.

The press should be not only a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer and a collective leader.

To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin.

Only an armed people can be the bulwark of popular liberty.

The sole social evil is the lack of revolutionary spirit.

No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.

Religion is the opium of the people.

You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.

The dictatorship of the proletariat means the power of the working class.

Learning is a step towards wisdom.

We must follow the rule: better ten enemies outside the gates than one within.

Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or relapse into barbarism.

The revolution is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.

To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics.

The most important thing when ill is to never lose heart.

The Party is the mind, honor and conscience of our epoch.
