What the scientists have in their briefcases is terrifying.

I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.

If you cannot catch a bird of paradise, better take a wet hen.

Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!

Revolutions are not made for export.

What the scientists have in their briefcases is terrifying.

Do you think when two representatives holding diametrically opposing views get together and shake hands, the contradictions between our systems will simply melt away? What kind of a daydream is that?

All the sparrows on the rooftops are crying about the fact that the most imperialist nation that is supporting the colonial regime in the colonies is the United States of America.

Bombs do not choose. They will hit everything.

The more bombers, the less room for doves of peace.

If you start throwing hedgehogs under me, I shall throw a couple of porcupines under you.

We say the name of God, but that is only habit.

He was a crystal of morality among our scientists.

When you are skinning your customers, you should leave some skin on to heal, so that you can skin them again.

What innocence, may I ask, is being played here when it is known that this virtuous damsel has already got a dozen illegitimate children?

If you live among dogs, keep a stick. After all, this is what a hound has teeth for-to bite when he feels like it!

When it comes to combating imperialism we are all Stalinists.

Don't you have a machine that puts food into the mouth and pushes it down?

Support by United States rulers is rather in the nature of the support that the rope gives to a hanged man.

Economics is a subject that does not greatly respect one's wishes.

Call it what you will, incentives are what get people to work harder.

The press is our chief ideological weapon.

He who cannot eat horsemeat need not do so. Let him eat pork. But he who cannot eat pork, let him eat horsemeat. It's simply a question of taste.

If one cannot catch a bird of paradise, better take a wet hen.

They pay little attention to what we say and prefer to read tea leaves.

Even now we feel that Stalin was devoted to Communism, he was a Marxist, this cannot and should not be denied.

In a fight you don't stop to choose your cudgels.

I want to talk to these people because they stay in power and you change all the time.

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.

But life is a great school. It thrashes and bangs and teaches you.

If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.

The purpose of the United Nations should be to protect the essential sovereignty of nations, large and small.

I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.

Economics is a subject that does not greatly respect ones wishes.

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.

The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease, but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science.

Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.

I appeal to my fellow scientists to remember their responsibility to humanity.

We really think it is a good thing for scientists to spend a little bit of their time either in the community or in schools or helping to train high school teachers.

The frontier orbital approach was further developed in various directions by my own group and many other scientists, both theoretical and experimental.

Others think it the responsibility of scientists to coerce the rest of society, because they have the power that derives from special knowledge.

Scientists at MIT and engineering schools all across America say that they could improve the fuel economy standards for the existing set of vehicles by 10 miles per gallon using existing technology, without compromising safety or comfort at all.

Just after World War II, this country led the world in science by every way you could measure it, yet the number of scientists was a tiny proportion of what it is now.

The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive.

The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.

Scientists often have a naive faith that if only they could discover enough facts about a problem, these facts would somehow arrange themselves in a compelling and true solution.

Just because scientists have the knowledge to do it, the technology to do it, and some may even have a financial motive or other incentive to do it, does not make it right.

Now, that is in a way also what scientists are trying to do they're trying to get people to see that the world can be represented in an alternative way and that it's right.

I am sorry to say that there is too much point to the wisecrack that life is extinct on other planets because their scientists were more advanced than ours.
