The Wisdom of Pol Pot

Reading Pol Pot reminds me of the quote “let them hate as long as they fear.”

“In Khmer we have a saying that when one is both quite
sick and old there remains only one thing, that you die.”
– Pol Pot, 1997

“Better to kill an innocent by mistake
than spare an enemy by mistake.”
– Pol Pot, 1975

“He who protests is an enemy; he who opposes is a corpse.”
– Pol Pot, 1976

“You can arrest someone by mistake; never release him by mistake.”
– Pol Pot, 1975

“We will burn the old grass and the new will grow.”
– Pol Pot, 1975
