Vladimir Lenin Quotes

"Three keys to success: read, read and read""Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich—that is the democracy of capitalist society""There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency""To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics""A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie""Without a revolutionary theory there cannot be a revolutionary movement""If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem""The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.""Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.""Religion is the opium of the people.""Medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism.""The goal of socialism is communism.""No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.""It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.""Sometimes history needs a push""One of the basic conditions for the victory of socialism is the arming of the workers and the disarming of the bourgeoisie""Trust is good but control is better""There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience""The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation""Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted"
