More quotes by Kim Jong-il

All exploiting classes, after all, constitute a reaction against history; they are the target of revolution.

Nothing is impossible for a man with a strong will. The possible is in store only for a man who loves the future. There is no word "impossible" in the Korean language.

A man who says that he has no time to study does not study even when he does have the time.

Glory to the heroic soldiers of the Korean People's Army!

Man is a product of evolution, but not his independence. Independence is a social product.
