The Cold War isn’t thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn’t sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.

When I was 18, I went to the Soviet Union. I kept hearing that America was planning to bomb them – lots of bombs were going to come down on these people. I went there not knowing anything, except that I thought the whole thing was stupid and that I wanted to see who these people were that we were going to bomb.

Castro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.

I’m more of a realist when it comes to life, and I’d much rather my mother be in a spiritual place in Heaven than in a bed, sick, fighting for her life.

When I was in the White House, I was confronted with the challenge of the Cold War. Both the Soviet Union and I had 30,000 nuclear weapons that could destroy the entire earth and I had to maintain the peace.

I’ll beat him so bad he’ll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.

It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

The Russians feared Ike. They didn’t fear me.

Communism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.

Many Communist government officials have a rigid, dictatorial power, but they live in constant suspicion and fear of anything that might undermine the power they have.

In 1962, war was avoided by Khrushchev’s willingness to accept Kennedy’s hegemonic demands.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.

When Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, the U.N. vetoed several resolutions right away, calling for an end to the fighting and so on, and that was a hideous invasion.

Marx and Engels never talked about murdering the bourgeois. According to the old bourgeois concept, the judges were the ones who judged, and the executioners were the ones who executed.

When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It’s just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

Battle is an orgy of disorder.

I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!

There are many people in the world who really don’t understand-or say they don’t-what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin!

Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies.

I’m committed to the fight game.

Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

I don’t know why you use a fancy French word like detente when there’s a good English phrase for it – cold war.

To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.

If you have to stand and fight, you train yourself so that you’re able to do it.

There is a specter haunting Europe, the specter of Communism.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

I don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

I’m going to change the way martial arts is viewed. I’m going to change the game. I’m going to change the way people approach fighting.

I have always fought for concrete facts, for justice.

If my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don’t want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you’ve got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what’s gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper. Everybody that’s in the industry has lost their edge.

The U.S.S.R. had absolutely nothing to do with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

I don’t fight in chase of an individual. I hear this sometimes where fighters work their whole careers to reach a matchup with a certain individual. I do not think in that way.

There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

I spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.

Cage Warriors is a brilliant organisation. They’re doing great things for European MMA, and they’re giving the platform for guys like me who came through. They’re vital. I’m forever grateful for the opportunities I got.

From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.

I’m tired of fighting. I’ve always known that I can’t be an action star all my life.

Over the years, there have been a series of concepts developed to justify the use of force in international affairs for a long period. It was possible to justify it on the pretext, which usually turned out to have very little substance, that the U.S. was defending itself against the communist menace. By the 1980s, that was wearing pretty thin.

It was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.

If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.

I became a Communist by studying capitalist political economy, and when I had some understanding of that problem, it actually seemed to me so absurd, so irrational, so inhuman, that I simply began to elaborate on my own formulas for production and distribution.

If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it’s not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?

I’m just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It’s still the same emotions.

Wherever the enemy wants to fight, we will follow him to the ends of the Earth. We’ll adapt, we’ll train, we’ll advise, we’ll mentor, and we’ll fight, and we’ll fight well.

The events of October 1962 are widely hailed as Kennedy’s finest hour.

Take it from someone who fled the Iron Curtain: I know what happens when you give the Russians a green light.

A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.

Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can’t talk. The man can’t fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he’s gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons.

About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm.

Today on the NATO line, our military forces face east to prevent a possible invasion. On the other side of the line, the Soviet forces also face east to prevent their people from leaving.

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
