Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive.
A revolution does not march a straight line. It wanders where it can, retreats before superior forces, advances wherever it has room, attacks whenever the enemy retreats or bluffs, and above all, is possessed of enormous patience.
The first law of war is to preserve ourselves and destroy the enemy.
When guerillas engage a stronger enemy, they withdraw when he advances, harass him when he stops, strike him when he is weary, pursue him when he withdraws.
Despise Your enemy stragetically, but take him seriously tactically
Revolutionary war is an antitoxin which not only eliminates the enemy's poison but also purges us of our own filth.
The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue
We should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports
To Be Attacked by the Enemy Is Not a Bad Thing but a Good Thing,
When the enemy advances, withdraw; when he stops, harass; when he tires, strike; when he retreats, pursue.
Complacency is the enemy of study.
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy.
Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution.
