The Communists offer one precious, fatal boon: they take away the sense of sin.

Communism has sometimes succeeded as a scavenger, but never as a leader. It has never come to power in any country that was not disrupted by war or internal corruption or both.

"You and I can make a mistake. Not the Party. The Party, comrade, is more than you and I and a thousand others like you and I."

We should not wonder at the success of communism, for so much of its success is rather that of religion.

We Communists are like seeds and the people are like the soil. Wherever we go, we must unite with the people, take root and blossom among them.

The objection to a Communist always resolves itself into the fact that he is not a gentleman.

The color of communism was not red but gray.

Communism is like Prohibition, its a good idea but it won't work.

Communism is the corruption of a dream of justice.

When I give food to the poor they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food they call me a communist.
