Chiang Kai-shek

The destiny of our nation is not in the hands of the United Nations. It is squarely in our own hands.

The Republic of China, an independent sovereign state, will tolerate no external interference.

Regardless of the changing international situation, we shall unhesitatingly make whatever sacrifices may be required and persevere in our struggle. We shall never waver. We shall never compromise.

The United Nations, which this country helped to establish after so many trials, has finally degraded itself and become a den of iniquity.

The restoration of human rights and freedom to our 700 million compatriots on the mainland is the common will of the whole Chinese race and is our unalterable national purpose and the holy task which we must accomplish.

The sky cannot have two suns.

Communism is a disease of the mind, a pestilence that must be eradicated.

The Japanese are a nation of bandits and barbarians. We must fight them to the last man.

A good soldier does not fear death, but fears dishonor.

The only way to save China is to eliminate the communists and unify the country under the Kuomintang.

Our revolution is based on the Three Principles of the People, not on class struggle or proletarian dictatorship.

The people are like water, and the government is like a boat. Water can support the boat, but it can also overturn it.

We must restore the traditional virtues of China and resist the corrupting influence of Western materialism.

The ultimate goal of our struggle is to recover the mainland and liberate our compatriots from communist tyranny.

Without discipline, there is no army. Without an army, there is no nation.

The communists are not true Chinese. They are agents of Soviet Russia, seeking to destroy our nation.

We must unite all anti-communist forces, both inside and outside China, to defeat the communist menace.

The New Life Movement aims to revolutionize the daily lives of the Chinese people by promoting traditional virtues and modern hygiene.

Our struggle against communism is a struggle between good and evil, between freedom and slavery.

The responsibility of a revolutionary is to sacrifice for the nation and the people.
