-----ANSWERS-----
All are quotes from Chairman Mao!
Surprised!? I was too. I bought a little red book of Mao Tse-Tung quotes the other day and thought it would be interesting to see if anyone could properly identify each quote. What is more interesting, I feel, is that if you incorrectly match the names with the quote, as I would have. I feel like some of these sayings have been repeated or else Mao has adapted other people's words to his own…he was a student of history after all. Either way, this was an interesting little game.
