It Would Be More In Keeping With The Intention Of The Noblest Man In This World If Our Two Christian Churches, Instead Of Annoying Negroes With Missions Which They Neither Desire Nor Understand, Would Kindly, But In All Seriousness, Teach Our European Humanity That Where Parents Are Not Healthy It Is A Deed Pleasing To God To Take Pity On A Poor Little Healthy Orphan Child And Give Him Father And Mother, Than Themselves To Give Birth To A Sick Child Who Will Only Bring Unhappiness And Suffering On Himself And The Rest Of The World.

I Shall Never Come Personally To Terms With The Christian Lie.

One People, One Reign, One Leader.

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.

Let Us Never Forget The Duty, Which We Have Taken Upon Us

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

There Must Be No Majority Decisions, But Only Responsible Persons, And The Word 'council' Must Be Restored To Its Original Meaning. Surely Every Man Will Have Advisers By His Side, But The Decision Will Be Made By One Man.

As National Socialists We See Our Program In Our Flag. In The Red We See The Social Idea Of The Movement.

Germany Is Prepared To Agree To Any Solemn Pact Of Non-aggression, Because She Does Not Think Of Attacking But Only Acquiring Security.

We Were Not Foolish Enough To Try To Make A Currency [backed By] Gold Of Which We Had None, But For Every Mark That Was Issued We Required The Equivalent Of A Mark's Worth Of Work Done Or Goods Produced ... We Laugh At The Time Our National Financiers Held The View That The Value Of A Currency Is Regulated By The Gold And Securities Lying In The Vaults Of A State Bank.

Through Clever And Constant Application Of Propaganda, People Can Be Made To See Paradise As Hell, And Also The Other Way Round, To Consider The Most Wretched Sort Of Life As Paradise.

When I Came To Power, I Did Not Want The Concentration Camps To Become Old Age Pensioners Homes, But Instruments Of Terror.

He Alone, Who Owns The Youth, Gains The Future.

Himmler Wants To Send An Expedition To Tibet To Look For Ancient Manuscripts On The Aryans. The Man Is Like A Little Schoolgirl. What Culture Is There In An Old Jug, I Ask You?

Great, Truly World-shaking Revolutions Of A Spiritual Nature Are Not Even Conceivable And Realizable Except As The Titanic Struggles Of Individual Formations, Never As Enterprises Of Coalitions.

I Use Emotion For The Many And Reserve Reason For The Few.

When I Recall My Teachers At School, I Realise That Half Of Them Were Abnormal. . . . We Pupils Of Old Austria Were Brought Up To Respect Old People And Women. But On Our Professors We Had No Mercy; They Were Our Natural Enemies. The Majority Of Them Were Somewhat Mentally Deranged, And Quite A Few Ended Their Days As Honest-to-god Lunatics! . . . I Was In Particular Bad Odor With The Teachers. I Showed Not The Slightest Aptitude For Foreign Languages - Though I Might Have, Had Not The Teacher Been A Congenital Idiot. I Could Not Bear The Sight Of Him.

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

Struggle Is The Father Of All Things. It Is Not By The Principles Of Humanity That Man Lives Or Is Able To Preserve Himself Above The Animal World, But Solely By Means Of The Most Brutal Struggle.

By Rejecting The Authority Of The Individual And Replacing It By The Numbers Of Some Momentary Mob, The Parliamentary Principle Of Majority Rule Sins Against The Basic Aristocratic Principle Of Nature.

Anyone Who Dares To Lay Hands On The Highest Image Of The Lord Commits Sacrilege Against The Benevolent Creator Of This Miracle And Contributes To The Expulsion From Paradise.

The Greatness Of Christianity Did Not Lie In Attempted Negotiations For Compromise With Any Similar Philosophical Opinions In The Ancient World, But In Its Inexorable Fanaticism In Preaching And Fighting For Its Own Doctrine.

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

Also Noteworthy Is The Increasingly Violent Struggle Against The Dogmatic Foundations Of The Various Churches Without Which In This Human World The Practical Existence Of A Religious Faith Is Not Conceivable.

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.

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.

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

The Work That Christ Started But Could Not Finish, I - Adolf Hitler - Will Conclude.

The State Must Act As The Guardian Of A Millennial Future In The Face Of Which The Wishes And The Selfishness Of The Individual Must Appear As Nothing And Submit.

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 Whites Have Carried To These (colonial) People The Worst That They Could Carry: The Plagues Of The World: Materialism, Fanaticism, Alcoholism, And Syphilis. Moreover, Since What These People Possessed On Their Own Was Superior To Anything We Could Give Them, They Have Remained Themselves... The Sole Result Of The Activity Of The Colonizers Is: They Have Everywhere Aroused Hatred.

Pride In One's Own Race - And That Does Not Imply Contempt For Other Races - Is Also A Normal And Healthy Sentiment. I Have Never Regarded The Chinese Or The Japanese As Being Inferior To Ourselves. They Belong To Ancient Civilizations, And I Admit Freely That Their Past History Is Superior To Our Own. They Have The Right To Be Proud Of Their Past, Just As We Have The Right To Be Proud Of The Civilization To Which We Belong. Indeed, I Believe The More Steadfast The Chinese And The Japanese Remain In Their Pride Of Race, The Easier I Shall Find It To Get On With Them.

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

If You Tell A Big Enough Lie And Tell It Frequently Enough, It Will Be Believed.

For The Greatest Revolutionary Changes On This Earth Would Not Have Been Thinkable If Their Motive Force, Instead Of Fanatical, Yes, Hysterical Passion, Had Been Merely The Bourgeois Virtues Of Law And Order.

In Relation To The Political Decontamination Of Our Public Life, The Government Will Embark Upon A Systematic Campaign To Restore The Nation's Moral And Material Health. The Whole Educational System, Theater, Film, Literature, The Press And Broadcasting - All These Will Be Used As A Means To This End.

Not Until My Fourteenth Or Fifteenth Year Did I Begin To Come Across The Word 'jew,' With Any Frequency, Partly In Connection With Political Discussions.... For The Jew Was Still Characterized For Me By Nothing But His Religion, And Therefore, On Grounds Of Human Tolerance, I Maintained My Rejection Of Religious Attacks In This Case As In Others. Consequently, The Tone, Particularly That Of The Viennese Anti-semitic Press, Seemed To Me Unworthy Of The Cultural Tradition Of A Great Nation.

Thus, Protestantism Will Always Stand Up For The Advancement Of All Germans As Such, As Long As Matters Of Inner Purity Or National Deepening As Well As German Freedom Are Involved, Since All These Things Have A Firm Foundation In Its Own Being; But It Combats With The Greatest Hostility Any Attempt To Rescue The Nation From The Embrace Of Its Most Mortal Enemy, Since Its Attitude Toward The Jews Just Happens To Be More Or Less Dogmatically Established.

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.

For How Shall We Fill People With Blind Faith In The Correctness Of A Doctrine, If We Ourselves Spread Uncertainty And Doubt By Constant Changes In Its Outward Structure? ...here, Too, We Can Learn By The Example Of The Catholic Church. Though Its Doctrinal Edifice, And In Part Quite Superfluously, Comes Into Collision With Exact Science And Research, It Is None The Less Unwilling To Sacrifice So Much As One Little Syllable Of Its Dogmas... It Is Only Such Dogmas Which Lend To The Whole Body The Character Of A Faith.

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

I Know It Is Unpopular. I Know The Timing Is Unpopular. I Know The Whole Thing Is Unpopular. But I Believe It Is The Right Thing.

When Human Hearts Break And Human Hearts Despair, Then From The Twilight Of The Past The Great Conquerors Of Distress And Care, Of Disgrace And Misery, Of Spiritual Slavery And Physical Compulsion, Look Down On Them And Hold Out Their Eternal Hands To The Despairing Mortals.

Being Daily Better Informed About Their Knowledge Than My Adversaries Themselves, I Argued Till Finally One Day They Applied The One Means That Wins The Easiest Victory Over Reason: Terror And Force.

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.

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

[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.

The World Will Not Help, The People Must Help Themselves. Its Own Strength Is The Source Of Life. That Strength The Almighty Has Given Us To Use; That In It And Through It, We May Wage The Battle Of Our Life The Others In The Past Years Have Not Had The Blessing Of The Almighty - Of Him Who In The Last Resort, Whatever Man May Do, Holds In His Hands The Final Decision. Lord God, Let Us Never Hesitate Or Play The Coward.

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

It Is Not The State That Orders Us; But It Is We Who Order The State!

We Have Now Armed To Such An Extent As The World Has Never Before Seen.

In The Life Of Nations, What In The Last Resort Decides Questions Is A Kind Of Judgment Court Of God... Always Before God And The World The Stronger Has The Right To Carry Through What He Wills.

Indeed, Nearly All Attempts To Exterminate A Doctrine And Its Organizational Expression, By Force Without Spiritual Foundation, Are Doomed To Failure, And Not Seldom End With The Exact Opposite Of The Desired Result.

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.

If, On Our Own Account, We Do Not Intend To Wage War, We Are Much Less Willing To Do So For Interests Which Do Not Concern Germany And Are Alien To It.

The Big Lie Is A Major Untruth Uttered Frequently By Leaders As A Means Of Duping And Controlling The Constituency.

Who Says I Am Not Under The Special Protection Of God?

I Desire A Violent, Domineering, Fearless, And Ferocious Upcoming Generation. It Must Be Able To Bear Pain. It Must Show No Signs Whatsoever Of Weakness Or Tenderness. The Free And Magnificent Predator Must Once Again Glint From Their Eyes.

I Am Sure That The Japanese, The Chinese And The Peoples Of Islam Will Always Be Closer To Us Than, For Example, France, In Spite Of The Fact That We Are Related By Blood (...)

The Readiness To Sacrifice One's Personal Work And, If Necessary, Even One's Life For Others Shows Its Most Highly Developed Form In The Aryan Race. The Greatness Of The Aryan Is Not Based On His Intellectual Powers; But Rather On His Willingness To Devote All His Faculties To The Service Of His Community.

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.

I Speak In The Name Of The Entire German People When I Assure The World That We All Share The Honest Wish To Eliminate The Enmity That Brings Far More Costs Than Any Possible Benefits. It Would Be A Wonderful Thing For All Of Humanity If Both Peoples Would Renounce Force Against Each Other Forever. The German People Are Ready To Make Such A Pledge.

Sooner Will A Camel Pass Through A Needle's Eye Than A Great Man Be "discovered" By An Election.

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

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

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.

Man Has Discovered In Nature The Wonderful Notion Of That All-mighty Being Whose Law He Worships. Fundamentally In Everyone There Is The Feeling For This All-mighty, Which We Call God (that Is To Say, The Dominion Of Natural Laws Throughout The Whole Universe).

England, Unlike In 1914, Will Not Allow Herself To Blunder Into A War Lasting For Years.... Such Is The Fate Of Rich Countries.. .not Even England Has The Money Nowadays To Fight A World War. What Should England Fight For? You Don't Get Yourself Killed Over An Ally.

As Soon As By One's Own Propaganda Even A Glimpse Of Right On The Other Side Is Admitted, The Cause For Doubting One's Own Right Is Laid.

The Whole World May Begin To Burn, But The National Socialist State And Idea Will Emerge From The Conflagration Like Platinum.

The First Foundation For The Creation Of Authority Is Always Provided By Popularity.

God Grant That This Is The Work Of The Communists. You Are Witnessing The Beginning Of A Great New Epoch In German History. This Fire Is The Beginning.

Nudity Is Undignified And An Error Of Taste

The National Socialist Movement, Which Aims At Establishing The National Socialist People's State, Must Always Bear Steadfastly In Mind The Principle That Every Future Institution Under That State Must Be Rooted In The Movement Itself.

The Western Democracy Of Today Is The Forerunner Of Marxism Which Without It Would Not Be Thinkable. It Provides This World Plague With The Culture In Which Its Germs Can Spread.

I Follow My Course With The Precision And Security Of A Sleepwalker.

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

In Nearly All The Matters In Which The Pan-german Movement Was Wanting, The Attitude Of The Christian Social Party Was Correct And Well-planned.

I Ought To Have Seized The Initiative In 1938 Instead Of Allowing Myself To Be Forced Into War In 1939; For War Was, In Any Case, Unavoidable. However, You Can Hardly Blame Me If The British And The French Accepted At Munich Every Demand I Made Of Them! (14th February 1945)

Democracy, The Deceitful Theory That The Jew Would Insinuate - Namely, That Theory That All Men Are Created Equal.

Whoever Lights The Torch Of War In Europe Can Wish For Nothing But Chaos. We, However, Live In The Firm Conviction Our Times Will See Not The Decline But The Renaissance Of The West. It Is Our Proud Hope And Our Unshakable Belief Germany Can Make An Imperishable Contribution To This Great Work.

A Decision By The Fuhrer In The Express Form Of A Law Or A Decree May Not Be Scrutinized By A Judge. In Addition, The Judge Is Bound By Any Other Decision Of The Fuhrer.

Even A Superficial Glance Is Sufficient To Show That All The Innumerable Forms In Which The Life-urge Of Nature Manifests Itself Are Subject To A Fundamental Law - One May Call It An Iron Law Of Nature - Which Compels The Various Species To Keep Within The Definite Limits Of Their Own Life-forms When Propagating And Multiplying Their Kind.

When An Opponent Declares, "i Will Not Come Over To Your Side," I Calmly Say, "your Child Belongs To Us Already...what Are You? You Will Pass On. Your Descendants, However, Now Stand In The New Camp. In A Short Time They Will Know Nothing Else But This New Community."

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.

The German People Are Not A Warlike Nation. It Is A Soldierly One, Which Means It Does Not Want A War, But Does Not Fear It. It Loves Peace But Also Loves Its Honor And Freedom

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.

One Of Our Most Important Tasks Will Be To Save Future Generations From A Similar Political Fate And To Maintain For Ever Watchful In Them A Knowledge Of The Menace Of Jewry. For This Reason Alone It Is Vital That The Passion Play Be Continued At Oberammergau; For Never Has The Menace Of Jewry Been So Convincingly Portrayed As In This Presentation Of What Happened In The Times Of The Romans. There One Sees In Pontius Pilate A Roman Racially And Intellectually So Superior, That He Stands Like A Firm, Clean Rock In The Middle Of The Whole Muck And Mire Of Jewry.

It [the Sudetenland] Is The Last Territorial Claim That I Have To Make In Europe.

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

The Assertion That It Is The Intention Of The German Reich To Coerce The Austrian State Is Absurd!

Cruelty Impresses, People Want To Be Afraid Of Something. They Want Someone To Whom They Can Submit With A Shudder, The Masses Need That. They Need Something To Dreed.

We Have Made It Possible, Without Gold And Without Foreign Exchange, To Maintain The Value Of The German Mark. Behind The German Mark Stands The German Capacity For Work, While Some Foreign Countries, Suffocated By Gold, Have Been Compelled To Devalue Their Currencies.

Wipe Out The Entire Defense Potential Remaining To The Soviets.

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

The Essential Thing Is The Formation Of The Political Will Of The Nation: That Is The Starting Point For Political Action.

I Wish And Will Continue To Wish, That The German People Should Learn That By Reason Of Practical Examples Afforded By Their Ability And Work, They Are Not A Second-rate Or Inferior People In Comparison With Others. On The Contrary They Are Their Equals According To All True Standards Of Values And Therefore Entitled To Equal Rights In All Respects.

Our Present Political World-view, Current In Germany, Is Based In General On The Idea That Creative, Culture-creating Force Must Indeed Be Attributed To The State.

National Socialist Germany Wishes For Peace Because It Recognises The Simple Fact That No War Would Be Likely To Substantially To Ameliorate The State Of Distress In Europe. The Distress Would Probably Be Made The Greater Thereby. If Only The Leaders And Rulers Had Wanted Peace, The People Would Never Have Wished For War.

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

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.

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?

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

Social Honour Recognises No Distinction Between The Employer And The Unemployed. All Of Them Work For A Common Purpose And Are Entitled To Equal Honour And Respect.

It Seems To Me That Nothing Would Be More Foolish Than To Re-establish The Worship Of Wotan. Our Old Mythology Ceased To Be Viable When Christianity Implanted Itself. Nothing Dies Unless It Is Moribund.

The Aryan Stands Firm, One With God In His Attitude To The World And Its People.

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.

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 Majority Can Never Replace The Man

I Looked At [goering Eating Sausage] And I Knew That What They Say Was True: That Pigs Eat The Flesh Of Their Own.

He Who Would Live Must Fight. He Who Doesn't Wish To Fight In This World, Where Permanent Struggle Is The Law Of Life, Has Not The Right To Exist.

The Fight Against Syphilis Demands A Fight Against Prostitution, Against Prejudices, Old Habits, Against Previous Conceptions, General Views Among Them Not Least The False Prudery Of Certain Circles. The First Prerequisite For Even The Moral Right To Combat These Things Is The Facilitation Of Earlier Marriage For The Coming Generation.

I Will Reflect A Thousand Times Over Before I Allow The German Volk To Become Entangled In Agreements Whose Consequences Are Not Readily Evident.

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

Our Teachers Were Absolute Tyrants. They Had No Sympathy With Youth; Their One Object Was To Stuff Our Brains And Turn Us Into Erudite Apes Like Themselves. If Any Pupil Showed The Slightest Trace Of Originality, They Persecuted Him Relentlessly, And The Only Model Pupils Whom I Have Ever Got To Know Have All Been Failures In After-life.

The Spark Of A Genius Exists In The Brain Of The Truly Creative Man From The Hour Of His Birth. True Genius Is Always Inborn And Never Cultivated, Let Alone Learned.

The Government Of The Reich, Who Regard Christianity As The Unshakable Foundation Of The Morals And Moral Code Of The Nation, Attach The Greatest Value To Friendly Relations With The Holy See And Are Endeavouring To Develop Them.

By Educating The Young Generation Along The Right Lines, The People's State Will Have To See To It That A Generation Of Mankind Is Formed Which Will Be Adequate To This Supreme Combat That Will Decide The Destinies Of The World.

Young Generation

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

Columbus's Eggs Lie Around By The Hundreds Of Thousands, But Columbuses Are Met With Less Frequency.

Christianity Is A Rebellion Against Natural Law, A Protest Against Nature. Taken To Its Logical Extreme, Christianity Would Mean The Systematic Cultivation Of The Human Failure.

When Our Party Had Only Seven Men, It Already Had Two Principles. First, It Wanted To Be A Party With A True Ideology. And Second, It Wanted To Be The One And Only Power In Germany.

Even Today I Am Not Ashamed To Say That, Overpowered By Stormy Enthusiasm, I Fell Down On My Knees And Thanked Heaven From An Overflowing Heart For Granting Me The Good Fortune Of Being Permitted To Live At This Time.

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.

I Myself And My Wife - In Order To Escape The Disgrace Of Deposition Or Capitulation - Choose Death. It Is Our Wish To Be Burnt Immediately On The Spot Where I Have Carried Out The Greatest Part Of My Daily Work In The Course Of A Twelve Years' Service To My People.

I Am Asking Of No Man More Than I Myself Was Ready Throughout Four Years To Do

To Attain Our Aim We Should Stop At Nothing Even If We Must Join Forces With The Devil.

Knowledge Above The Average Can Be Crammed Into The Average Man, But It Remains Dead, And In The Last Analysis Sterile Knowledge. The Result Is A Man Who May Be A Living Dictionary But Nevertheless Falls Down Miserably In All Special Situations And Decisive Moments In Life.

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.

I Must Frankly Admit That... I Should Probably Lose All Interest In Life And Would Rather Not Be A German At All. But Since, Thank The Lord, This Cannot Be Done, We Have No Need To Be Surprised That The Health, Unspoiled People Avoid 'bourgeois Mass Meetings' As The Devil Holy Water.

The Folkish Philosophy Of Life Must Succeed In Bringing About That Nobler Age In Which Men No Longer Are Concerned With Breeding Dogs, Horses, And Cats, But In Elevating Man Himself.

Christianity [is] A Rebellion Against Natural Law, A Protest Against Nature.

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.

The Size Of The Lie Is A Definite Factor In Causing It To Be Believed.

Lord God, Let Us Never Hesitate Or Play The Coward, Let Us Never Forget The Duty Which We Have Taken Upon Us.... We Are All Proud That Through God's Powerful Aid We Have Become Once More True Germans.

The Only People I Have Been Able To Use Are Those Who Fought

The World Has No Reason For Fighting In Our Defense, And As A Matter Of Principle God Does Not Make Cowardly Nations Free.

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

Historically Speaking, The Christian Religion Is Nothing But A Jewish Sect... After The Destruction Of Judaism, The Extinction Of Christian Slave Morals Must Follow Logically... Ah, The God Of The Deserts, That Crazed, Stupid, Vengeful Asiatic Despot With His Power To Make Laws!

It Is Over, The Reich Walls Have Collapsed, My Generals Have Betrayed Me And My Army Refuses To Fight, This Is The Herr Doernitz! I Only Hope You Can Turn This Around.

In Freethinkers Hall, Which Before The Nazi Resurgence Was The National Headquarters Of The German Freethinkers League, The Berlin Protestant Church Authorities Have Opened A Bureau For Advice To The Public In Church Matters. Its Chief Object Is To Win Back Former Churchgoers And Assist Those Who Have Not Previously Belonged To Any Religious Congregation In Obtaining Church Membership. The German Freethinkers League, Which Was Swept Away By The National Revolution, Was The Largest Of Such Organizations In Germany. It Had About 500,000 Members.

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

A Single Blow Must Destroy The Enemy... Without Regard Of Losses... A Gigantic All-destroying Blow.

World History Is Made By Minorities When This Minority Of Number Embodies The Majority Of Will And Determination.

I Intend To Set Up A Thousand-year Reich And Anyone Who Supports Me In This Battle Is A Fellow-fighter For A Unique Spiritual-i Would Say Divine-creation... Rudolf Hess, My Assistant Of Many Years Standing, Would Tell You: If We Have Such A Leader, God Is With Us.

The Leader Of Genius Must Have The Ability To Make Different Opponents Appear As If They Belonged To One Category.

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.

Thousands Of Americans, Englishmen And Frenchmen Have Visited Germany During The Months After The National Revolution And Were Able To Testify As Eye-witnesses That There Is No Country In The World Where Law And Order Are Better Maintained Than In Present-day Germany. That There Is No Country In The World Where Person And Property Are Held In Better Respect Than In Our Own, But That There Is Perhaps Also No Country In The Word Where A More Rigorous Fight Is Put Up Against Those Who Believe That They Are Free To Let Loose Their Lower Instincts To The Detriment Of Their Fellow-beings.

Be Proud Of Your People When You Don't Have To Be Ashamed Of Any It's Social Class

It Is Eastwards, Only And Always Eastwards, That The Veins Of Our Race Must Expand. It Is The Direction Which Nature Herself Has Decreed For The Expansion Of The German Peoples.

The Doom Of A Nation Can Be Averted Only By A Storm Of Flowing Passion, But Only Those Who Are Passionate Themselves Can Arouse Passion In Others.

There Is A Road To Freedom. Its Milestones Are Obedience, Endeavour, Honesty, Order, Cleanliness, Sobriety, Truthfulness, Sacrifice, And Love Of The Fatherland.

The Truth Is The Best Propaganda.

I Have Not Come Into This World To Make Men Better, But To Make Use Of Their Weaknesses.

I Had Excellent Opportunity To Intoxicate Myself With The Solemn Splendor Of The Brilliant Church Festivals. As Was Only Natural, The Abbot Seemed To Me, As The Village Priest Had Once Seemed To My Father, The Highest And Most Desirable Ideal.

Germany Neither Intends Nor Wishes To Interfere In The Internal Affair Of Austria, To Annex Austria, Or To Conclude An Anschluss

As In Everything, Nature Is The Best Instructor.

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.

Whenever I Think Of This Attack, My Stomach Turns Over.

I Never Lost My Belief, In The Midst Of Setbacks Which Were Not Spared Me During My Period Of Struggle. Providence Has Had The Last Word And Brought Me Success.

How Fortunate For Governments That People Do Not Think. There Is No Thinking Except In Giving And Executing Commands. If It Were Otherwise Human Society Could Not Exist.

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.

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.

If The War Is Lost, The Nation Will Also Perish. This Fate Is Inevitable. There Is No Necessity To Take Into Consideration The Basis Which The People Will Need To Continue A Most Primitive Existence. On The Contrary, It Will Be Better To Destroy Things Ourselves Because This Nation Will Have Proved To Be The Weaker One And The Future Will Belong Solely To The Stronger Eastern Nation [russia]. Besides, Those Who Remain After The Battle Are Only The Inferior Ones, For The Good Ones Have Been Killed.

Besides That, I Believe One Thing: There Is A Lord God! And This Lord God Creates The Peoples.

I Soon Realized That The Correct Use Of Propaganda Is A True Art Which Has Remained Practically Unknown To The Bourgeois Parties. Only The Christian- Social Movement, Especially In Lueger's Time Achieved A Certain Virtuosity On This Instrument, To Which It Owed Many Of Its Success.

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.

History Is As Old As My Grandfather

Life Does Not Forgive Weakness.

There Are Certain Truths Which Stand Out So Openly On The Roadsides Of Life, As It Were, That Every Passer-by May See Them. Yet, Because Of Their Obviousness, The General Run Of People Disregard Such Truths Or At Least They Do Not Make Them The Object Of Any Concious Knowledge. People Are So Bliend To Some Of The Simplest Facts In Everyday Life That They Are Highly Surprised When Somebody Calls Attention To What Everybody Ought To Know.

The German Has Not The Slightest Notion How A People Must Be Misled If The Adherence Of The Masses Is Sought.
