"一切反动派都是纸老虎" is a famous Mao quote that translates as "all reactionaries are paper tigers"

一切 = all + exact = all without exception

反动 = counter + movement = reactionary

派 = dispatch (original meaning. right side depicts water branching off a river, left side enforces this meaning) = party (loan from english as pai4)
