Lifelong Motto 

  President Kim Il Sung had a talk with some officials one day in December 1992. He said that in order for officials to be true servants of the people, they should have a revolutionary viewpoint on the masses. And he continued to say: I wrote “The people are my God” in my reminiscences and this means that I regard them as Heaven. That “The people are my God” is my constant view and philosophy.
He went on: Throughout my life, since I embarked on the road of revolution up to now, I have considered the people as Heaven, served them and made the revolution drawing on their strength. Revolutionaries will win the whole world and always emerge victorious when they believe in the people and rely on them, but they will always fail when they keep away from and are forsaken by the people—this is a truth which has been clearly proved by the practice of the long-drawn-out revolution.
The officials felt anew that the President had dedicated his all to the good of the people regarding “The people are my God” as his lifelong motto. Hearing his words filled with infinite care of and trust in the people, they were all excited.
