Joseph Stalin quotes

History shows that there are no invincible armies.

The only real power comes out of a long rifle.

If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a 'peace conference', you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.

Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem.

I trust no one, not even myself.

If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.

One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.

Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.

If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a 'peace conference', you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.

If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a 'peace conference', you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.

The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.

I believe in one thing only, the power of human will.
