Joseph Stalin People Quotations

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.

[The Albanians] seem to be rather backward and primitive people... they can be as faithful as a dog; that is one of the traits of the primitive. Our Chuvash were the same. The Russian tsars always used them for their bodyguards.

The people will always attempt to find the positive aspects of all circumstances, which, in themselves, are not susceptible to danger.

It doesnt matter how many people vote, only who counts them.

Personel selection is decisive. People are our most valuable capital.

When one person dies, it's a tragedy, but when a million people die, it's a statistic.

The leaders come and go, but the people remain. Only the people are immortal.

This war is not an ordinary war. It is the war of the entire Russian people. Not only to eliminate the danger hanging over our heads, but to aid all people groaning under the yoke of Fascism

Hitlers come and go, but Germany and the German people remain.

In speaking of the capitalists who strive only for profit, only to get rich, I do not want to say that these are the most worthless people capable of doing nothing else. Many of them undoubtedly possess great organising talent, which I would not dream of denying. We Soviet people learn a lot from the capitalists. But if you mean people who are prepared to reconstruct the world, of course you will not be able to find them in the ranks of those who faithfully serve the cause of profit. ..The capitalist is riveted in profit and nothing can tear him away from it.

The way to handle people is to treat them like chickens. Take away everything they have by plucking all their feathers and then throw them a few bread crumbs. They will then follow you forever.

Everybody has a right to be stupid, but some people abuse the privilege.

It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes.
