When we say "the state," the state is We, it is we, it is the proletariat, it is the advanced guard of the working class. (Vladimir Lenin)
No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals; war on the rogues, the idlers and the rowdies! View quote
Vladimir Lenin
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters - then we are for it! View quote
Vladimir Lenin
I could fill an entire second life with working on my prints. View quote
M. C. Escher
Happiness does not fall out of the blue and dreams will not come true by themselves. We need to be down-to-earth and work hard. We should uphold the idea that working hard is the most honorable, noblest, greatest and most beautiful virtue. View quote
Xi Jinping
There's a need to perfect things in a writers' room, and that can take a lot of fun out of a show sometimes. It's a struggle. It depends on your personality. Some people love working with a writing staff. I had a great writing staff on Lucky Louie, but it sometimes felt like Congress or something. View quote
Louis C.K.
Well, I think "likability” is an overused word. I don't watch people 'cause I like them; I watch them because they're compelling. Sympathetic is a little different ... Likable just thins you out. Working to make a character likable is what kills most TV shows. View quote
Louis C.K.
Why I should be in Romania in the name of unknown to me goal. There was a time when I led soldiers to battle, thinking I was doing my duty as a Russian patriot. However, I understood that we have been cheated, that people needed peace. The old army and Soviet Union are not compatible, therefore, my military career had to end. With no remorse, I could go back to my favorite occupation, working in the field. View quote
Aleksandr Vasilevsky
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form-knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration. View quote
Henry Moore
Recently I have been working in the country, where, carving in the open air, I find sculpture more natural than in a London studio, but it needs bigger dimensions. A large piece of stone or wood placed almost anywhere at random in a field, orchard, or garden, immediately looks right and inspiring. View quote
Henry Moore
Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist. (George C. Marshall)
The kibbutz way of life is not for everyone. It is meant for people who are not in the business of working harder than they should be working, in order to make more money than they need, in order to buy things they don't really want, in order to impress people they don't really like. View quote
Amos Oz
All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time. View quote
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
On working alone: "I enjoy working alone. I know myself, and I know what I want... and all this allows me to create my music before my thoughts can interrupt." View quote
Vangelis
One day I noticed that I could go on working art my motif no matter what the weather might be. I no longer needed the sun, for I took my light everywhere with me. View quote
Georges Braque
Working together, we can build a world in which the rule of law - not the rule of force - governs relations between states. A world in which leaders respect the rights of their people, and nations seek peace, not destruction or domination. And neither we nor anyone else should live in fear ever again. View quote
Wesley Clark
Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. View quote
Jack Kerouac
How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life? View quote
Charles Lindbergh
It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it. View quote
Owen Wilson
I pursue no objectives, no systems, no tendency; I have no program, no style, no direction. I have no time for specialized concerns, working themes, or variations that lead to mastery. I steer clear of definitions. I don't know what I want. I am inconsistent, non-committal, passive; I like the indefinite, the boundless; I like continual uncertainty. View quote
Gerhard Richter
I am working here [Amsterdam] on my last big triptych, which will be a tremendous story, and which gives me a more intense life and exhilaration. My God, life is worth living! (Max Beckmann)
The only conclusion you can draw from the real historical movement is that by and large, in day-to-day life, what Lenin called trade union consciousness dominates the working class. I would call it elementary class consciousness of the working class. View quote
Ernest Mandel
People thought I was a charlatan and a nut, [he remembered]. The doctors were against me - they said that working out with weights would give people heart attacks and they would lose their sex drive. View quote
Jack LaLanne
Congress no longer declares war or makes budgets. So that's the end of the constitution as a working machine. View quote
Gore Vidal
The ideal student would be one who was not working for grades but was working because he was interested in the work and not trying to compete with fellow students. View quote
Carl David Anderson
