I Am Convinced That 1941 Will Be The Crucial Year Of A Great New Order In Europe. The World Shall Open Up For Everyone. Privileges For Individuals, The Tyranny Of Certain Nations And Their Financial Rulers Shall Fall. And Last Of All This Year Will Help To Provide The Foundations Of A Real Understanding Among Peoples, And With It The Certainty Of Conciliation Among Nations. . . .

The Scream Of The Twelve-inch Shrapnel Is More Penetrating Than The Hiss From A Thousand Jewish Newspaper Vipers. Therefore Let Them Go On With Their Hissing.

I Believe That The Madness Of Communism Would Be The Sole Victor.

A People Of Scholars, If They Are Physically Degenerate, Weak-willed And Cowardly Pacifists, Will Not Storm The Heavens, Indeed, They Will Not Be Able To Safeguard Their Existence On This Earth.

Life Never Forgives Weaknesses.

The Union Of Theorizer, Organizer, And Leader In One Man Is The Rarest Phenomenon On Earth; Therein Lies Greatness.

The National Socialist State Refuses To Admit Female Labour In Factories Merely Because Such Labour Is Cheap. There Is, Of Course, A Certain Amount Of Industrial Work Which Can Only Be Performed By Women, But An Essential Condition Is That This Sort Of Work Should Not Be Injurious To Health.

When A Man Is Starving In The Streets He Is Not Thinking Of Bread And Water, But Of Caviar And Champagne!

Germany Has Solemnly Recognized And Guaranteed France Her Frontiers As Determined After The Saar Plebiscite... We Thereby Finally Renounced All Claims To Alsace-lorraine, A Land For Which We Have Fought Two Great Wars.

It Doesn't Dawn On This Depraved Bourgeois World That This Is Positively A Sin Against All Reason; That It Is Criminal Lunacy To Keep On Drilling A Born Half-ape Until People Think They Have Made A Lawyer Out Of Him, While Millions Of Members Of The Highest Culture- Race Must Remain In Entirely Unworthy Positions; That It Is A Sin Against The Will Of The Eternal Creator If His Most Gifted Beings By The Hundreds And Hundreds Of Thousands Are Allowed To Degenerate In The Present Proletarian Morass, While Hottentots And Zulu Kaffirs Are Trained For Intellectual Professions.

I Myself Was And Still Am A Child Of The People. It Was Not For The Capitalists That I Undertook This Struggle; It Was For The German Working Man That I Took My Stand.

As Soon As One Point Alone Is Removed From The Sphere Of Dogmatic Certainty, The Discussion Will Not Simply Result In A New And Better Formulation Which Will Have Greater Consistency But May Easily Lead To Endless Debates And General Confusion.

Whatever Goal, Man Has Reached Is Due To His Originality Plus His Brutality

I Go The Way That Providence Dictates With The Assurance Of A Sleepwalker.

The Fact That, With Time, This League [of Nations]-which Was Presumably Designed By Its Founders To Exist For All Eternity-cannot Be Coupled With A Treaty The Short Term Of Which Is Inherent In Its Own Weaknesses And Impracticabilities, Is A Point Which Can Perhaps Be Contested By Today's Interested Parties, But Which Will One Day Be Deemed A Matter Of Course In History.

Christianity Is The Worst Of The Regressions That Mankind Can Ever Have Undergone, And It's The Jew Who, Thanks To This Diabolic Invention, Has Thrown Him Back Fifteen Centuries. The Only Thing That Would Be Still Worse Would Be Victory For The Jew Through Bolshevism. If Bolshevism Triumphed, Mankind Would Lose The Gift Of Laughter And Joy. It Would Become Merely A Shapeless Mass, Doomed To Grayness And Despair.

When I Compare Myself And My Opponents In Other Countries In The Light Of History, I Do Not Fear The Verdict On Our Respective Mentalities.

When Barbarossa Commences, The World Will Hold Its Breath And Make No Comment.

It Is Better To Make A Mistake Than To Do Nothing.

Imagine Me Going Around With A Pot Belly. It Would Mean Political Ruin.

National Socialism Is The Determination To Create A New Man. There Will No Longer Exist Any Individual Arbitrary Will, Nor Realms In Which The Individual Belongs To Himself. The Time Of Happiness As A Private Matter Is Over.

For One Cannot Assume That God Exists To Help People Who Are Too Cowardly And Too Lazy To Help Themselves And Think That God Exists Only To Make Up For The Weakness Of Mankind. He Does Not Exist For That Purpose. He Has Always, At All Times, Blessed Only Those Who Were Prepared To Fight Their Own Battles.

German Equality Of Rights Is The Prerequisite For Any Participation On Germany's Part In International Conventions And Agreements.

It Is Necessary That I Should Die For My People; But My Spirit Will Rise From The Grave And The Whole World Will Know That I Was Right.

But It Would Be Absolutely Mistaken To Regard A Wealth Of Theoretical Knowledge As Characteristic Proof For The Qualities And Abilities Of A Leader.

God Helps Only Those Who Are Prepared And Determined To Help Themselves.

The Phrase, 'emancipation Of Women' Is Only An Invention Of The Jewish Intellect And Its Content Is Stamped With The Same Spirit. In The Really Good Periods Of German Life The German Woman Never Needed To Emancipate Herself.

A Car For The People, An Affordable Volkswagen, Would Bring Great Joy To The Masses And The Problems Of Building Such A Car Must Be Faced With Courage.

Blood Mixture And The Result Drop In The Racial Level Is The Sole Cause Of The Dying Out Of Old Cultures; For Men Do Not Perish As A Result Of Lost Wars, But By The Loss Of That Force Of Resistance Which Is Continued Only In Pure Blood. All Who Are Not Of Good Race In This World Are Chaff.

The National Government Will Regard It As Its First And Foremost Duty To Revive In The Nation The Spirit Of Unity And Cooperation. It Will Preserve And Defend Those Basic Principles On Which Our Nation Has Been Built. It Regards Christianity As The Foundation Of Our National Morality, And The Family As The Basis Of National Life.

Germany Must Either Be A World Power Or There Will Be No Germany

[it Is] Useful To Know The Laws Of Nature - For That Enables Us To Obey Them. To Act Otherwise Would Be To Rise In Revolt Against Heaven.

I Begin With The Young. We Older Ones Are Used Up But My Magnificent Youngsters! Are There Finer Ones Anywhere In The World? Look At All These Men And Boys! What Material! With You And I, We Can Make A New World.

Propaganda Tries To Force A Doctrine On The Whole People; The [party] Organization Embraces Within Its Scope Only Those Who Do Not Threaten On Psychological Grounds To Become A Brake On The Further Dissemination Of Ideas.

The Future Of A Movement Is Conditioned By The Fanaticism, Yes, The Intolerance, With Which Its Adherents Uphold It As The Sole Correct Movement, And Push It Past Other Formations Of A Similar Sort.

The Jew Almost Never Marries A Christian Woman; It Is The Christian Who Marries A Jewess.

Struggle Is Gruesome Only For The Weak.

Neither I Nor Anyone Else In Germany Would Even Consider Placing Any "conditions" On Our Possible Return To The League Of Nations. Whether Or Not We Return To This Body Depends Exclusively Upon Whether We Can Belong To It As A Completely Equal Nation. This Is Not A "condition," But A Matter Of Course.

As Fuehrer Of The German People And Chancellor Of The Reich, I Can Thank God At This Moment That He Has So Wonderfully Blessed Us In Our Hard Struggle For What Is Our Right, And Beg Him That We And All Other Nations May Find The Right Way, So That Not Only The German People But All Europe May Once More Be Granted The Blessing Of Peace.

A Woman Must Be A Cute, Cuddly, Naive Little Thing - Tender, Sweet, And Stupid.

First, Therefore, [the Jew] Goes About Making Up To The People For His Previous Sins Against Them. He Begins His Career As The 'benefactor' Of Mankind. Since His New Benevolence Has A Practical Foundation, He Cannot Very Well Adhere To The Old Biblical Recommendation, That The Left Hand Should Not Know What The Right Hand Giveth.

When There Is Change, It Must Not Alter The Content Of What Propaganda Is Driving At, But In The End Must Always Say The Same Thing. For Instance, A Slogan Must Be Presented From Different Angles, But The End Of All Remarks Must Always And Immutably Be The Slogan Itself. Only In This Way Can The Propaganda Have A Unified And Complete Effect.

Everything On This Earth Can Be Made Into Something Better. Every Defeat May Be Made The Foundation Of A Future Victory. Every Lost War May Be The Cause Of A Later Resurgence. Every Visitation Of Distress Can Give A New Impetus To Human Energy. And Out Of Every Oppression Those Forces Can Develop Which Bring About A New Rebirth.

If Nature Does Not Wish That Weaker Individuals Should Mate With The Stronger, She Wishes Even Less That A Superior Race Should Intermingle With An Inferior One; Because In Such A Case All Her Efforts, Throughout Hundreds Of Thousands Of Years, To Establish An Evolutionary Higher Stage Of Being, May Thus Be Rendered Futile.

The War Against Russia Will Be Such That It Cannot Be Conducted In A Knightly Fashion. This Struggle Is One Of Ideologies And Racial Differences And Will Have To Be Conducted With Unprecedented, Unmerciful And Unrelenting Harshness.

I Have Given Orders To My Death Units To Exterminate Without Mercy Or Pity Men, Women And Children Belonging To The Polish Speaking Race... After All, Who Remembers Today The Extermination Of The Armenians?

I'll Put An End To The Idea That A Woman's Body Belongs To Her... Nazi Ideals Demand That The Practice Of Abortion Shall Be Exterminated With A Strong Hand.

I Do Not Know What Horrified Me Most [during The Depression]: The Economic Misery Of My Companions [or] Their Moral And Ethical Coarseness.

The German People Have No Idea Of The Extent To Which They Have To Be Gulled In Order To Be Led.

Nationalist Socialist Germany Wants Peace Because Of Its Fundamental Convictions. And It Wants Peace Also Owing To The Realization Of The Simple Primitive Fact That No War Would Be Likely Essentially To Alter The Distress In Europe. The Principal Effect Of Every War Is To Destroy The Flower Of The Nation. Germany Needs Peace And Desires Peace!

I Saw My Enemies In Munich, And They Are Worms.

I Want Everyone To Keep The Property That He Has Acquired For Himself According To The Principle: Benefit To The Community Precedes Benefit To The Individual. But The State Should Retain Supervision And Each Property Owner Should Consider Himself Appointed By The State. It Is His Duty Not To Use His Property Against The Interests Of Others Among His Own People. This Is The Crucial Matter. The Third Reich Will Always Retain Its Right To Control The Owners Of Property.

The Folkish Philosophy Is Fundamentally Distinguished From The Marxist By Reason Of The Fact That The Former Recognizes The Significance Of Race And Therefore Also Personal Worth And Has Made These The Pillars Of Its Structure. These Are The Most Important Factors Of Its View Of Life.

Nearly All Bolshevist Agitators In Germany And Elsewhere Were Jews.

The Purest Idealism Is Unconsciously Equivalent To The Deepest Knowledge.

Outward Appearance

Strength Lies Not In Defence But In Attack

The National Socialist Movement Has Wrought This Miracle. If Almighty God Granted Success To This Work, Then The Party Was His Instrument.

There Is, Then, No Danger In The Circumstances That Anti-semitism Will Disappear, For It Is The Jews Themselves Who Add Fuel To Its Flames And See That It Is Kept Well Stoked. Before The Opposition To It Can Disappear, The Malady Itself Must Disappear. And From That Point Of View, You Can Rely On The Jews: As Long As They Survive, Anti-semitism Will Never Fade. (13th February 1945)

If In The Past, After Every Lost War, The Unlucky Vanquished Were Divested Forever Of Their Honor And Their Equality Of Rights, The League Of Nations Would Even Now Have To Be Satisfied With A Whole Series Of Non-equal And Thus Ultimately Dishonorable And Inferior Nations.

In The Spanish People There Is A Mixture Of Gothic, Frankish And Moorish Blood. One Can Speak Of The Spaniard As One Would Speak Of A Brave Anarchist. The Arabian Epoch-the Arabs Look Down On The Turks As They Do On Dogs-was The Most Cultured, The Most Intellectual And In Every Way Best And Happiest Epoch In Spanish History. It Was Followed By The Period Of The Persecutions With Its Unceasing Atrocities.

There Is Something Very Unhealthy About Christianity.

Every Healthy Völk Sees The Right To Expansion Of Its Living Space As Something Natural.

When I Go Out In The Morning And See These Men Standing In Their Queues And Look Into Their Pinched Faces, Then I Believe I Would Be No Christian, But A Very Devil, If I Felt No Pity For Them, If I Did Not, As Did Our Lord Two Thousand Years Ago, Turn Against Those By Whom Today This Poor People Are Plundered And Exposed.

What Luck, For Governments, That The People Are Stupid!

The Black-haired Jewish Youth Lies In Wait For Hours On End, Satanically Glaring At And Spying On The Unsuspicious Girl Whom He Plans To Seduce, Adulterating Her Blood And Removing Her From The Bosom Of Her Own People. The Jew Uses Every Possible Means To Undermine The Racial Foundations Of A Subjugated People.

It May Be That Today Gold Has Become The Exclusive Ruler Of Life, But The Time Will Come When Man Will Again Bow Down Before A Higher God.

The Moment In Paris Where I Saluted Napoleon's Tomb Was One Of The Proudest Of My Life.

The Great Strength Of The Totalitarian State Is That It Forces Those Who Fear It To Imitate It.

Only In The Roman Empire And In Spain Under Arab Domination Has Culture Been A Potent Factor. Under The Arab, The Standard Attained Was Wholly Admirable; To Spain Flocked The Greatest Scientists, Thinkers, Astronomers, And Mathematicians Of The World, And Side By Side There Flourished A Spirit Of Sweet Human Tolerance And A Sense Of Purist Chivalry. Then With The Advent Of Christianity, Came The Barbarians.

While We Destroyed The Centre Party, We Have Not Only Brought Thousands Of Priests Back Into The Church, But To Millions Of Respectable People We Have Restored Their Faith In Their Religion And In Their Priests. The Union Of The Evangelical Church In A Single Church For The Whole Reich, The Concordat With The Catholic Church, These Are But Milestones On The Road Which Leads To The Establishment Of A Useful Relation And A Useful Co Operation Between The Reich And The Two Confessions.

Of Course, Even The General Designation 'religious' Includes Various Basic Ideas Or Convictions, For Example, The Indestructibility Of The Soul, The Eternity Of Its Existence, The Existence Of A Higher Being, Etc. But All These Ideas, Regardless Of How Convincing They May Be For The Individual, Are Submitted To The Critical Examination Of This Individual And Hence To A Fluctuating Affirmation Or Negation Until Emotional Divination Or Knowledge Assumes The Binding Force Of Apodictic Faith.

Struggle Is The Father Of All Things, Virtue Lies In Blood, Leadership Is Primary And Decisive

The Swine Who Stole My Dog Doesn't Realize What He Did To Me!

The Government Will Make Use Of These Powers Only Insofar As They Are Essential For Carrying Out Vitally Necessary Measures.... The Separate Existence Of The Federal States Will Not Be Done Away.... The Number Of Cases In Which An Internal Necessity Exists For Having Recourse To Such Law Is In Itself A Limited One.

The Art Of Reading And Studying Consists In Remembering The Essentials And Forgetting What Is Not Essential.

In The Ranks Of The Movement [national Socialist Movement], The Most Devout Protestant Could Sit Beside The Most Devout Catholic, Without Coming Into The Slightest Conflict With His Religious Convictions. The Mighty Common Struggle Which Both Carried On Against The Destroyer Of Aryan Humanity Had, On The Contrary, Taught Them Mutually To Respect And Esteem One Another.

The Conviction Of The Justification Of Using Even The Most Brutal Weapons Is Always Dependent On The Presence Of A Fanatical Belief In The Necessity Of The Victory Of A Revolutionary New Order On This Globe.

A Victory At Kursk Would Shine Like A Beacon To The World!

I Am Beginning With The Young. We Older Ones Are Used Up. Yes, We Are Old Already. We Are Rotten To The Marrow. We Have No Unrestrained Instincts Left. We Are Cowardly And Sentimental. We Are Bearing The Burden Of A Humiliating Past, And Have In Our Blood The Dull Recollection Of Serfdom And Servility. But My Magnificent Youngsters! Are There Finer Ones Anywhere In The World? Look At These Young Men And Boys! What Material! With Them, I Can Make A New World.

Wipe Out The Entire Defense Potential Remaining To The Soviets.

I Drank My Bottle Of Milk And Ate My Morsel Of Bread Somewhere On The Outskirts, While I Circumspectly Studied My Environment Or Else Fell To Meditating On My Own Harsh Lot.

I Don't See Much Future For The Americans ... It's A Decayed Country. And They Have Their Racial Problem, And The Problem Of Social Inequalities ... My Feelings Against Americanism Are Feelings Of Hatred And Deep Repugnance ... Everything About The Behaviour Of American Society Reveals That It's Half Judaised, And The Other Half Negrified. How Can One Expect A State Like That To Hold Together?

The Purpose Of Propaganda Is Not To Provide Interesting Distraction For Blasé Young Gentlemen, But To Convince... The Masses. But The Masses Are Slow Moving, And They Always Require A Certain Time Before They Are Ready Even To Notice A Thing, And Only After The Simplest Ideas Are Repeated Thousands Of Times Will The Masses Finally Remember Them.

...it Is Said With Such Terrible Justice That The Sins Of The Fathers Are Avenged Down To The Tenth Generation. But This Applies Only To Profanation Of The Blood And The Race.

All Upright Germans Will Be National Socialists, But Only The Best National Socialists Will Be Party Members!

What Good Fortune For Those In Power That People Do Not Think.

The Whole Of Education Should Be Designed So As To Occupy A Boy's Free Time In Cultivation Of His Body. He Has No Right To Loaf About Idly; But After His Day's Work Is Done, He Ought To Harden His Young Body, So That Life May Not Find Him Soft When He Enters It. No One Should Be Allowed To Sin At The Expense Of Posterity, That Is, Of The Race.

Universal Education Is The Most Corroding And Disintegrating Poison That Liberalism Has Ever Invented For Its Own Destruction.

Our National Policies Will Not Be Revoked Or Modified, Even For Scientists. If The Dismissal Of Jewish Scientists Means The Annihilation Of Contemporary German Science, Then We Shall Do Without Science For A Few Years.

I Hold To My Conviction That, Once This Path Of Mutual Understanding And Consideration Has Been Taken, More Will Come Of It In The End Than Through Ever So Extensive Pacts Inherently Lacking In Clarity.

After The Usa, Germany Today Is Once More The Leading Steel Producing Country In The World.

Our Party Remains As Firm As This Rock And Will Not Be Divided By Any Force In Germany.

Verily A Man Cannot Serve Two Masters. And I Consider The Foundation Or Destruction Of A Religion Far Greater Than The Foundation Or Destruction Of A State, Let Alone A Party.

And The Founder Of Christianity Made No Secret Indeed Of His Estimation Of The Jewish People. When He Found It Necessary, He Drove Those Enemies Of The Human Race Out Of The Temple Of God.

The Efficiency Of A Truly National Leader Consists Primarily In Preventing The Division Of The Attention Of A People, And Always In Concentrating It On A Single Enemy.

He Who Would Lay Hands Upon Us Will Encounter Thorns And Barbs!

I Will Never Allow Anyone To Divide This People Once More Into Religious Camps, Each Fighting The Other

Benefit To The Community Precedes Benefit To The Individual.

The Fact That The Vatican Is Concluding A Treaty With The New Germany Means The Acknowledgement Of The National Socialist State By The Catholic Church. This Treaty Shows The Whole World Clearly And Unequivocally That The Assertion That National Socialism Is Hostile To Religion Is A Lie.

In Boundless Love As A Christian And As A Man I Read Through The Passage Which Tells Us How The Lord At Last Rose In His Might And Seized The Scourge To Drive Out Of The Temple The Brood Of Vipers And Of Adders.

In Vowing Ourselves To One Another, We Are Entitled To Stand Before The Almighty And Ask Him For His Grace And His Blessing.

For The Greater A Man's Works For The Future, The Less The Present Can Comprehend Them; The Harder His Fight, And The Rarer Success. If, However, Once In Centuries Success Does Come To A Man, Perhaps In His Latter Days A Faint Beam Of His Coming Glory May Shine Upon Him. To Be Sure, These Great Men Are Only The Marathon Runners Of History; The Laurel Wreath Of The Present Touches Only The Brow Of The Dying Hero.

Idealism Does Not Represent A Superfluous Expression Of Emotion, But In Truth It Has Been, Is, And Will Be, The Premise For What We Designate As Human Culture...without His Idealistic Attitude All, Even The Most Dazzling Faculties Of The Intellect, Would Remain Mere Intellect Just Like Outward Appearance Without Inner Value, And Never Creative Force....the Purest Idealism Is Unconsciously Equivalent To The Deepest Knowledge.

...a Man Does Not Die For Business, But For Ideals.

Armies For The Preservation Of Peace Do Not Exist; They Exist Only For The Triumphant Exertion Of War.

...our Cities Of The Present Lack The Outstanding Symbol Of National Community Which, We Must Therefore Not Be Surprised To Find, Sees No Symbol Of Itself In The Cities. The Inevitable Result Is A Desolation Whose Practical Effect Is The Total Indifference Of The Big-city Dweller To The Destiny Of His City.

The More Modest Its Intellectual Ballast, The More Exclusively It Takes Into Consideration The Emotions Of The Masses, The More Effective [propaganda] Will Be.

You See, It's Been Our Misfortune To Have The Wrong Religion. Why Didn't We Have The Religion Of The Japanese, Who Regard Sacrifice For The Fatherland As The Highest Good? The Mohammedan Religion [islam] Too Would Have Been More Compatible To Us Than Christianity. Why Did It Have To Be Christianity With Its Meekness And Flabbiness?

The Task Of Preserving And Advancing The Highest Humanity, Given To This Earth By The Benevolence Of The Almighty, Seems A Truly High Mission.

For The Political Leader The Religious Doctrines And Institutions Of His People Must Always Remain Inviolable; Or Else Has No Right To Be In Politics, But Should Become A Reformer, If He Has What It Takes!

Sparta Must Be Regarded As The First Völkisch State. The Exposure Of The Sick, Weak, Deformed Children, In Short, Their Destruction, Was More Decent And In Truth A Thousand Times More Human Than The Wretched Insanity Of Our Day Which Preserves The Most Pathological Subject.

Neutrals And Lukewarms Do Not Make History.

When The German People Trusting To The Promises Made By President Wilson In His Fourteen Points, Laid Down Their Arms In November 1918, A Fateful Struggle Thereby Came To An End For Which Perhaps Individual Statesmen, But Certainly Not The Peoples Themselves Could Be Held Responsible. The German Nation Put Up Such An Heroic Fight Because It Was Sincere In Its Conviction That It Had Been Wrongfully Attacked And Was Therefore Justified In Fighting. The Peace Treaty Of Versailles Did Not Seem To Be For The Purpose Of Restoring Peace To Mankind, But Rather To Perpetuate Hatred.

Only In The Steady And Constant Application Of Force Lies The Very First Prerequisite For Success. This Persistence, However, Can Always And Only Arise From A Definite Spiritual Conviction. Any Violence Which Does Not Spring From A Firm, Spiritual Base, Will Be Wavering And Uncertain.

Only The Continuous And Steady Application Of The Methods For Suppressing A Doctrine, Etc., Makes It Possible For A Plan To Succeed.

Let Me Control The Textbooks, And I Will Control The State.

If You Win, You Need Not Have To Explain...if You Lose, You Should Not Be There To Explain!

The Greater The Crime Perpetrated By The Leadership, The Less Likely It Is That The People Will Ever Believe Their Leaders To Be Capable Of Perpetrating Such An Event.

The Task Of Propaganda Lies Not In A Scientific Training Of The Individual, But Rather In Directing The Masses Toward Certain Facts, Events, Necessities, Etc., The Purpose Being To Move Their Importance Into The Masses' Field Of Vision.

We Need Not Fear The Judgement Of History. Who, After All, Speaks Today Of The Extermination Of The Armenians?

One Should Guard Against Believing The Great Masses To Be More Stupid Than They Actually Are.

With Satanic Joy In His Face, The Black-haired Jewish Youth Lurks In Wait For The Unsuspecting Girl Whom He Defiles With His Blood, Thus Stealing Her From Her People.

All Epoch-making Revolutionary Events Have Been Produced Not By The Written, But By The Spoken Word.

We, As Aryans, Can Conceive Of The State Only As The Living Organism Of A Nationality Which Not Only Assures The Preservation Of Its Nationality, But By The Development Of Its Spiritual And Ideal Abilities Leads It To The Highest Freedom.

Our Task Is To Harness The God-given Energy Of This German Nation To Stand Firm For The Truth.

What Is America But Beauty Queens, Millionaires, Stupid Records And Hollywood?

Help Thyself, Then Thou Wilt Also Have The Help Of The Almighty.

Since We Are Not In The League Of Nations In Any Case, We Do Not Devote Our Attention To Reflecting On Its Internal Reforms.

For There Is One Thing We Must Never Forget... The Majority Can Never Replace The Man. And No More Than A Hundred Empty Heads Make One Wise Man Will An Heroic Decision Arise From A Hundred Cowards.

All Propaganda Must Be Popular And Its Intellectual Level Must Be Adjusted To The Most Limited Intelligence Among Those It Is Addressed To.

No More Than A Famous Master Can Be Replaced And Another Take Over The Completion Of The Half-finished Painting He Has Left Behind Can The Great Poet And Thinker, The Great Statesman And The Great Soldier, Be Replaced. For Their Activity Lies Always In The Province Of Art. It Is Not Mechanically Trained But Inborn By God's Grace.

Thank God I've Always Avoided Persecuting My Enemies.

If The Question Is Still Asked Why National Socialism Combats The Jewish Element In Germany So Fanatically, The Answer Can Only Be, Because National Socialism Wishes To Establish A Real Community Of The People. Since We Are National Socialists, We Cannot Permit An Alien Race To Impose Itself Upon Our Working People As Their Leaders.

This Human World Of Ours Would Be Inconceivable Without The Practical Existence Of A Religious Belief.

Catholic Religion

If Only One Country, For Whatever Reason, Tolerates A Jewish Family In It, That Family Will Become The Germ Center For Fresh Sedition. If One Little Jewish Boy Survives Without Any Jewish Education, With No Synagogue And No Hebrew School, It [judaism] Is In His Soul. Even If There Had Never Been A Synagogue Or A Jewish School Or An Old Testament, The Jewish Spirit Would Still Exist And Exert Its Influence. It Has Been There From The Beginning And There Is No Jew, Not A Single One, Who Does Not Personify It.

I Will Employ My Strength For The Welfare Of The German People, Protect The Constitution And Laws Of The German People, Conscientiously Discharge The Duties Imposed On Me, And Conduct My Affairs Of Office Impartially And With Justice To Everyone.

Czechoslovakia Has Ceased To Exist.

It Would Be Easier For The Devil To Go To Church And Cross Himself With Holy Water Than For These People To Comprehend The Ideas Which Are Accepted Facts To Us Today.

I Am Insulted By The Persistent Asertion That I Want War. Am I A Fool? War! It Would Settle Nothing.

Only In The Struggle Between Two Philosophies Can The Weapon Of Brutal Force, Persistently And Ruthlessly Applied, Lead To A Decision For The Side It Supports.

There Arc No Such Things As Desperate Situations. Only Desperate Men.

Desperate Situations

As Long As Leadership From Above Was Not Lacking, The People Fulfilled Their Duty And Obligation Overwhelmingly. Whether Protestant Pastor Or Catholic Priest, Both Together And Particularly At The First Flare, There Really Existed In Both Camps But A Single Holy German Reich, For Whose Existence And Future Each Man Turned To His Own Heaven.

We Will Not Capitulate - No, Never! We May Be Destroyed, But If We Are, We Shall Drag A World With Us - A World In Flames.

Generals Think War Should Be Waged Like The Tourneys Of The Middle Ages. I Have No Use For Knights; I Need Revolutionaries.

A Sharp Difference Should Exist Between General Education And Specialized Knowledge. As Particularly Today The Latter Threatens More And More To Sink Into The Service Of Pure Mammon, General Education, At Least In Its More Ideal Attitude, Must Be Retained As A Counterweight.

A Man Does Not Die For Something Which He Himself Does Not Believe In.

Something Therefore Always Remains And Sticks From The Most Imprudent Of Lies, A Fact Which All Bodies And Individuals Concerned In The Art Of Lying In This World Know Only Too Well, And Therefore They Stop At Nothing To Achieve This End.

For A People, As For An Individual, It Is Tragic To Have Ambitions And To Lack Both The Means Essential To Their Fulfillment And Any Hope Of Acquiring Those Means.

That This Is Possible May Not Be Denied In A World Where Hundreds And Hundreds Of Thousands Of People Voluntarily Submit To Celibacy, Obligated And Bound By Nothing Except The Injunction Of The Church. Should The Same Renunciation Not Be Possible If This Injunction Is Replaced By The Admonition Finally To Put An End To The Constant And Continuous Original Sin Of Racial Poisoning, And To Give The Almighty Creator Beings Such As He Himself Created?

Man Has Become Great Through Struggle

I Hold That This Must Be Said, For Treaties Only Make Sense When Concluded By Honor-loving Peoples And Honor-conscious Governments. Germany Wishes To Establish Honest Relations With The Peoples Of Neighboring Countries. We Have Done This In The East, And I Believe That Not Only Berlin But Warsaw As Well Will Rejoice In The Decontamination Of The Atmosphere Brought About Through Our Joint Efforts.

The Victor Will Never Be Asked If He Told The Truth.

With The Defeat Of The Reich And Pending The Emergence Of The Asiatic, The African And, Perhaps, The South American Nationalisms, There Will Remain In The World Only Two Great Powers Capable Of Confronting Each Other-the United States And Soviet Russia. The Laws Of Both History And Geography Will Compel These Two Powers To A Trial Of Strength, Either Military Or In The Fields Of Economics And Ideology. (2nd April 1945)

The More Abstractly Correct And Hence Powerful This Idea Will Be, The More Impossible Remains Its Complete Fulfillment As Long As It Continues To Depend On Human Beings... If This Were Not So, The Founders Of Religion Could Not Be Counted Among The Greatest Men Of This Earth... In Its Workings, Even The Religion Of Love Is Only The Weak Reflection Of The Will Of Its Exalted Founder; Its Significance, However, Lies In The Direction Which It Attempted To Give To A Universal Human Development Of Culture, Ethics, And Morality.

The Folkish-minded Man, In Particular, Has The Sacred Duty, Each In His Own Denomination, Of Making People Stop Just Talking Superficially Of God's Will, And Actually Fulfill God's Will, And Not Let God's Word Be Desecrated. For God's Will Gave Men Their Form, Their Essence And Their Abilities. Anyone Who Destroys His Work Is Declaring War On The Lord's Creation, The Divine Will.

We Are A People Of Different Faiths, But We Are One. Which Faith Conquers The Other Is Not The Question; Rather, The Question Is Whether Christianity Stands Or Falls.... We Tolerate No One In Our Ranks Who Attacks The Ideas Of Christianity... In Fact Our Movement Is Christian. We Are Filled With A Desire For Catholics And Protestants To Discover One Another In The Deep Distress Of Our Own People.

Marching Diverts Man's Thoughts. Marching Kills Thoughts. Marching Makes An End Of Individuality. Marching Is The Indispensable Magic Stroke Performed In Order To Accustom People To A Mechanical, Quasi-ritualistic Activity Until It Becomes Second Nature.

Only Force Rules. Force Is The First Law

Bolshevism Turns Flourishing Countryside Into Sinister Wastes Of Ruins; National Socialism Transforms A Reich Of Destruction And Misery Into A Healthy State With A Flourishing Economic Life.

Consequently, The Tone, Particularly That Of The Viennese Anti-semitic Press, Seemed To Me Unworthy Of The Cultural Tradition Of A Great Nation.

Our Ideology Is Intolerant...and Peremptorily Demands...the Complete Transformation Of Public Life To Its Ideas.

To Whom Should Propaganda Be Addressed? To The Scientifically Trained Intelligentsia Or The Less Educated Masses? It Must Be Addressed Always And Exclusively To The Masses.

I Realise That Man, In His Imperfection, Can Commit Innumerable Errors - But To Devote Myself Deliberately To Errors, That Is Something I Cannot Do. I Shall Never Come Personally To Terms With The Christian Lie. Our Epoch, In The Next 200 Years, Will Certainly See The End Of The Disease Of Christianity. My Regret Will Have Been That I Could Not Behold Its Demise.

If We Pursue This Way, If We Are Decent, Industrious, And Honest, If We So Loyally And Truly Fulfill Our Duty, Then It Is My Conviction That In The Future As In The Past The Lord God Will Always Help Us. In The Long Run He Never Leaves Decent Folk In The Lurch. Often He May Test Them, He May Send Trials Upon Them, But In The Long Run He Always Lets His Sun Shine Upon Them Once More And At The End He Gives Them His Blessing.

If The Lie Is Large Enough, Everyone Will Believe It.

Genius Is A Will-o'-the-wisp If It Lacks A Solid Foundation Of Perseverence And Fanatical Tenacity. This Is The Most Important Thing In All Of Human Life.

Give Me An Athlete And I'll Give You An Army.

I Believe That This Was God's Will - To Send A Boy Into The Reich, To Let Him Become Its Leader, In Order To Bring His Home Country Into The Reich. Otherwise One Must Doubt Providence.

Then We'll Work A Hundred Years Without Physics And Chemistry.
