Nation Quotes

“Here is a good way for the world to make a good progress: Let the less clever nations learn good things from the more clever nations!”

“The greatness of a nation becomes evident when it enters very narrow, very dark, very depressing streets. If it is a nation that is fond of freedom, a nation in love with broad horizons, it will definitely come out of that stifling, fascist street and show that it is a great nation. If it fails to do so, it will lose its dignity and prestige and will take its place in history as a disreputable, insignificant nation that obeys oppression.”

“If the farmer is rich, then so is the nation.”

“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”

“If he had learned anything from his father’s fate, it was to win, no matter how you did it. It was not important if someone else was hurt, or killed. If you won, you would be forgiven anything. You could be taken from a stinking ger and forced through the ranks until a thousand men followed your orders as if they came from the khan himself. Blood and talent. The nation was built on both.”
