Bribery

"At all costs we must break the old, absurd, savage, despicable and disgusting prejudice that only the so-called upper classes, only the rich, and those who have gone through the school of the rich, are capable of administering the state and directing the organizational development of socialist society." - Vladimir Lenin, fully Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

"The bourgeoisie incites the workers of one nation against those of another in the endeavour to keep them disunited. Class-conscious workers, realizing that the break-down of all the national barriers by capitalism is inevitable and progressive, are trying to help to enlighten and organize their fellow-workers from the backward countries." - Vladimir Lenin, fully Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

"When God wants to please a poor man, He lets him lose his donkey and then helps him find it again." - Turkish Proverbs
