Some Quotes from Mao's Little Red Book
Chapter 5 --- War and Peace
Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel
of a gun."
We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only
be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun, it is necessary
to take up the gun.
Just because we have won a victory, we must never relax our vigilance against
the frenzied plots for revenge by the imperialists and their running dogs.
Whoever relaxes vigilance will disarm himself politically and land himself in a
passive position.
The commanders and fighters of the entire Chinese People's Liberation Army
absolutely must not relax in the least their will to fight; any thinking that
relaxes the will to fight and belittles the enemy is wrong.
But when it moves to the peaceful years I hate it.
Not because I love chaos but because a time of peace is not good
for the development of the people. It is unbearable
