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.

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!

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.

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

...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 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.

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

Humanitarianism Is The Expression Of Stupidity And Cowardice.

I, For My Part, Acknowledge Another Precept Which Says That Man Must Deal The Final Blow To Those Whose Downfall Is Destined By God.

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

Perhaps We Are Only Forerunners. Twenty Or Even A Hundred Years May Pass Before The National Socialist Idea Is Victorious; Those Who Believe In The Ideal Today May Die: But What Is A Man In The Development Of A People, Of Mankind.

Y Feelings As A Christian Points Me To My Lord And Savior As A Fighter. It Points Me To The Man Who Once In Loneliness, Surrounded By A Few Followers, Recognized These Jews For What They Were And Summoned Men To Fight Against Them And Who, God's Truth! Was Greatest Not As A Sufferer But As A Fighter. 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 Adders.

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.

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

Our German Language Has A Word Which In A Magnificent Way Denotes Conduct Based On This Spirit: Doing One's Duty [pflichterfüllung]-which Means Serving The Community Instead Of Contenting Oneself. We Have A Word For The Basic Disposition Which Underlies Conduct Of This Kind In Contrast To Egoism And Selfishness-idealism. By 'idealism' We Mean Only The Ability Of The Individual To Sacrifice Himself For The Whole, For His Fellow Men.

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

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 World Is Undoubtedly Going Through Great Changes. The Only Question Is Whether The Outcome Will Be The Good Of Aryan Humanity Or Profits For The Jew. The Task Of The National State Will, Therefore, Be To Preserve The Race And Fit It To Meet The Final And Great Decisions On This Globe By Suitable Education Of Its Youth.

This Game Is Repeated Again And Again, And In It The Role Of The So-called 'german Princes' Is Just As Miserable As That Of The Jews Themselves. These Lords Were Really God's Punishment For Their Beloved Peoples And Find Their Parallels Only In The Various Ministers Of The Present Time.

And So He [the Jew] Advances On His Fatal Road Until Another Force Comes Forth To Oppose Him, And In A Mighty Struggle Hurls The Heaven-stormer Back To Lucifer. Germany Is Today The Next Great War Aim Of Bolshevism. It Requires All The Force Of A Young Missionary Idea To Raise Our People Up Again, To Free Them From The Snares Of This International Serpent.

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.

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

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.

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

The Principle Applies Here, Help Yourselves And Almighty God Will Not Deny You His Assistance.

Faith Is Harder To Shake Than Knowledge, Love Succumbs Less To Change Than Respect, Hate Is More Enduring Than Aversion, And The Impetus To The Mightiest Upheavals On This Earth Has At All Times Consisted Less In A Scientific Knowledge Dominating The Masses Than In A Fanaticism Which Inspired Them And Sometimes In A Hysteria Which Drove Them Forward.

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

When Understanding Of The Universe Has Become Widespread, When The Majority Of Men Know That The Stars Are Not Sources Of Light But Worlds, Perhaps Inhabited Worlds Like Ours, Then The Christian Doctrine Will Be Convicted Of Absurdity.

Churchill Is The Very Type Of A Corrupt Journalist. There Is Not A Worse Prostitute In Politics. He Himself Has Written That It'sunimaginable What Can Be Done In War With The Help Of Lies. He's An Utterly Amoral Repulsive Creature. I'm Convinced That He Has His Place Of Refuge Ready Beyond The Atlantic. He Obviously Won't Seek Sanctuary In Canada. In Canada He'd Be Beaten Up. He'll Go To His Friends The Yankees. As Soon As This Damnable Winter Is Over, We'll Remedy All That.

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

Providence Has Ordained That I Should Be The Greatest Liberator Of Humanity. I Am Freeing Man From The Restraints Of An Intelligence That Has Taken Charge, From The Dirty And Degrading Self-mortification Of A False Vision Called Conscience And Morality, And From The Demands Of A Freedom And Independence Which Only A Very Few Can Bear.

The National State Divides Its Inhabitants Into Three Classes: State Citizens, State Subjects, And Foreigners. It Must Be Held In Greater Honour To Be A Citizen Of This Reich Even If Only A Crossing-sweeper, Than To Be A King In A Foreign State.

The Fox Remains Always A Fox, The Goose Remains A Goose, And The Tiger Will Retain The Character Of A Tiger.

We Wish To Fill Our Culture Once More With The Spirit Of Christianity - But Not Only In Theory.

The Folkish State Must Not Adjust Its Entire Educational Work Primarily To The Inoculation Of Mere Knowledge, But To The Breeding Of Absolutely Healthy Bodies. The Training Of Mental Abilities Is Only Secondary.

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.

Czechoslovakia Provided Soviet Russia With Landing Fields For Aircraft, Thereby Increasing The Threat Against Germany.

What We Have To Fight For...is The Freedom And Independence Of The Fatherland, So That Our People May Be Enabled To Fulfill The Mission Assigned To It By The Creator.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'm Sure That Nero Didn't Set Fire To Rome. It Was The Christian-bolsheviks Who Did That, Just As The Commune Set Fire To Paris In 1871 And The Communists Set Fire To The Reichstag In 1932.

The Right Of Personal Freedom Recedes Before The Duty To Preserve The Race.

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).

Catholics And Protestants Are Fighting With One Another... While The Enemy Of Aryan Humanity And All Christendom Is Laughing Up His Sleeve.

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

Soldiers Of The Reich! This Day, You Are To Take Part In An Offensive Of Such Importance That The Whole Future Of The War May Depend On Its Outcome.

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

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.

[this Is The] Very First Condition Which Has To Be Fulfilled In Every Kind Of Propaganda: A Systematically One-sided Attitude Towards Every Problem That Has To Be Dealt With.

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?

Our Strategy Is To Destroy The Enemy From Within, To Conquer Him Through Himself.

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 Man Does Not Die For Business, But For Ideals.

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.

The Man Who Contemplates The Universe With His Eyes Wide Open Is The Man With The Greatest Amount Of Natural Piety; Not In The Religious Sense, But In The Sense Of An Intimate Harmony With Things.

More Than Once I Was Tormented By The Thought That If Providence Had Put Me In The Place Of The Incapable Of Criminal Incompetents Or Scoundrels In Our Propaganda Service, Our Battle With Destiny Would Have Taken A Different Turn.

...the Existence And Increase Of Our Race And Nation, The Sustenance Of Its Children And The Purity Of Its Blood, The Freedom And Independence Of The Fatherland, And The Nation's Ability To Fulfill The Mission Appointed To It By The Creator Of The Universe.

A Man Who Knows A Thing, Who Is Aware Of A Given Danger, And Sees The Possibility Of A Remedy With His Own Eyes, Has The Duty And Obligation, By God, Not To Work 'silently,' But To Stand Up Before The Whole Public Against The Evil And For Its Cure.

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.

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.

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

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.

Gold Is Not Necessary. I Have No Interest In Gold. We'll Build A Solid State, Without An Ounce Of Gold Behind It. Anyone Who Sells Above The Set Prices, Let Him Be Marched Off To A Concentration. That's The Bastion Of Money.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

The Beginning Of Every War Is Like Opening The Door Into A Dark Room. One Never Knows What Is Hidden In The Darkness.

How To Achieve The Moral Breakdown Of The Enemy Before The War Has Started - That Is The Problem That Interests Me. Whoever Has Experienced War At The Front Will Want To Refrain From All Avoidable Bloodshed.

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

Unscrupulous Agitators Have Been At Work Spreading Atrocity Stories Which Can Only Be Compared With Those Lies That Were Fabricated By The Same Instigators At The Beginning Of The Great War.

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.

Conscience Is A Jewish Invention.

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

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

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.

I Certainly Am Not Alone In The World With This Demand; I Am In The Best Of Company. Let It Be Said That No Self-respecting People And No Responsible Government Would Be Able To Think Or Much Less Act Differently In Such A Case. The World Has Already Seen A Great Many Wars Lost In The Past.

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.

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

A Folkish State Must Therefore Begin By Raising Marriage From The Level Of A Continuous Defilement Of The Race, And Give It The Consecration Of An Institution Which Is Called Upon To Produce Images Of The Lord And Not Monstrosities Halfway Between Man And Ape.

Thank The Lord, Germanic Democracy Means Just This: That Any Old Climber Or Moral Slacker Cannot Rise By Devious Paths To Govern His National Comrades, But That, By The Very Greatness Of The Responsibility To Be Assumed, Incompetents And Weaklings Are Frightened Of.

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.

Your Birth May Be Common, But Death Must Be History.

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

The Government, Being Resolved To Undertake The Political And Moral Purification Of Our Public Life, Are Creating And Securing The Conditions Necessary For A Really Profound Revival Of Religious Life

What Luck For Rulers That Men Do Not Think.

The Art Of Leadership . . . Consists In Consolidating The Attention Of The People Against A Single Adversary And Taking Care That Nothing Will Split Up That Attention. . . . The Leader Of Genius Must Have The Ability To Make Different Opponents Appear As If They Belong To One Category.

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.

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.

It [christian Social Party] Recognized The Value Of Large-scale Propaganda And Was A Virtuoso In Influencing The Psychological Instincts Of The Broad Masses Of Its Adherents.

[propaganda] Does Not Have Multiple Shadings; It Has A Positive And A Negative; Love Or Hate, Right Or Wrong, Truth Or Lie, Never Half This Way And Half That Way.

Any Alliance Whose Purpose Is Not The Intention To Wage War Is Senseless And Useless.

I Believe Today That My Conduct Is In Accordance With The Will Of The Almighty Creator.

It Is A Quite Special Secret Pleasure How The People Around Us Fail To Realize What Is Really Happening To Them.

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.

If We Had These Rockets In 1939, We Should Never Have Had This War.

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

You Will Never Learn What I Am Thinking. And Those Who Boast Most Loudly That They Know My Thought, To Such People I Lie Even More.

Help Yourself, Then God Will Also Help You!

I Am Now As Before A Catholic And Will Always Remain So.

Catholic Religion

For It Was By The Will Of God That Men Were Made Of A Certain Bodily Shape, Were Given Their Natures And Their Faculties. Whoever Destroys His Work Wages War Against God's Creation And God's Will.

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.

Remain Strong In Your Faith, As You Were In Former Years. In This Faith, In Its Close-knit Unity Our People To-day Goes Straight Forward On Its Way And No Power On Earth Will Avail To Stop It.

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

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

This State Of Mind, Which Subordinates The Interests Of The Ego To The Conservation Of The Community, Is Really The First Premise For Every Truly Human Culture... The Basic Attitude From Which Such Activity Arises, We Call-to Distinguish It From Egoism And Selfishness-idealism. By This We Understand Only The Individual's Capacity To Make Sacrifices For The Community, For His Fellow Men.

When People Attempt To Rebel Against The Iron Logic Of Nature, They Come Into Conflict With The Very Same Principles To Which They Owe Their Existence As Human Beings. Their Actions Against Nature Must Lead To Their Own Downfall.

In This Hour I Would Ask Of The Lord God Only This: That, As In The Past, So In The Years To Come He Would Give His Blessing To Our Work And Our Action, To Our Judgement And Our Resolution, That He Will Safeguard Us From All False Pride And From All Cowardly Servility, That He May Grant To Us To Find The Straight Path Which His Providence Has Ordained For The German People, And That He May Ever Give Us The Courage To Do The Right, Never To Falter, Never To Yield Before Any Violence, Before Any Danger.

How Fortunate For Leaders That Men Do Not Think (also, What Luck For Rulers That Men Do Not Think).

Consequently, The Value And Importance Of The Monarchic Idea Cannot Reside In The Person Of The Monarch Himself Except If Heaven Decides To Lay The Crown On The Brow Of The Heroic Genius Like Frederick The Great Or A Wise Character Like William I.

It Would Have Been More To The Point, More Honest And More Christian, In Past Decades Not To Support Those Who Intentionally Destroyed Healthy Life Than To Rebel Against Those Who Have No Other Wish Than To Avoid Disease. Moreover, A Policy Of Laissez Faire In This Sphere Is Not Only Cruelty To The Individual Guiltless Victims But Also To The Nation As A Whole... If The Churches Were To Declare Themselves Ready To Take Over The Treatment And Care Of Those Suffering From Hereditary Diseases, We Should Be Quite Ready To Refrain From Sterilizing Them.

The Church Has Realized That Anything And Everything Can Be Built Up On A Document Of That Sort, No Matter How Contradictory Or Irreconcilable With It. The Faithful Will Swallow It Whole, So Long As Logical Reasoning Is Never Allowed To Be Brought To Bear On It.

Logical Reasoning

The Result Of The Revolution In Germany Has Been To Establish A Democracy In The Best Sense Of The Word. We Are Steering Towards An Order Of Things Guaranteeing A Process Of A Natural And Reasonable Selection In The Domain Of Political Leadership, Thanks To Which That Leadership Will Be Entrusted To The Most Competent, Irrespective Of Their Descent, Name Or Fortune. The Memorable Words Of The Great Corsican That Every Soldier Carries A Field Marshal's Baton In His Knapsack, Will Find Its Political Complement In Germany.

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

We Stand For The Maintenance Of Private Property... We Shall Protect Free Enterprise As The Most Expedient, Or Rather The Sole Possible Economic Order.

Man Has Become Great Through Struggle

The Primitive Simplicity Of Their Minds Renders Them A More Easy Prey To A Big Lie Than A Small One.

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

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.

You Only Have To Kick In The Door And The Whole Rotten Structure Will Come Crashing Down.

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.

If The German Nation Wants To End A State Of Affairs That Threatens Its Extermination In Europe, It Must Not Fall Into The Error Of The Pre-war Period And Make Enemies Of God And The World; It Must Recognize The Most Dangerous Enemy And Strike At Him With All Its Concentrated Power. And If This Victory Is Obtained Through Sacrifices Elsewhere, The Coming Generations Of Our People Will Not Condemn Us.

In Actual Fact The Pacifistic-humane Idea Is Perfectly All Right Perhaps When The Highest Type Of Man Has Previously Conquered And Subjected The World To An Extent That Makes Him The Sole Ruler Of This Earth… Therefore, First Struggle And Then Perhaps Pacifism.

How Fortunate For Governments That The People They Administer Don't Think.

...we Understand Only The Individual's Capacity To Make Sacrifices For The Community, For His Fellow Men.

The Unity Of A Nation's Spirit And Will Are Worth Far More Than The Freedom Of The Spirit And Will Of An Individual; And That The Higher Interests Involved In The Life Of The Whole Must Here Set The Limits And Lay Down The Duties Of The Interests Of The Individual.

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

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

The Jew Has Always Been A People With Definite Racial Characteristics And Never A Religion.

Characteristics

All Propaganda Must Be So Popular And On Such An Intellectual Level, That Even The Most Stupid Of Those Towards Whom It Is Directed Will Understand It. Therefore, The Intellectual Level Of The Propaganda Must Be Lower The Larger The Number Of People Who Are To Be Influenced By It.

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 Best Characterization Is Provided By The Product Of This Religious Education, The Jew Himself. His Life Is Only Of This World, And His Spirit Is Inwardly As Alien To True Christianity As His Nature Two Thousand Years Previous Was To The Great Founder Of The New Doctrine.

I Wish To Give Officials Greater Discretion. The State's Authority Will Be Increased Thereby. I Wish To Transform The Non-political Criminal Police Into A Political Instrument Of The Highest State Authority.

Great Nations Do Not Succumb Through Lost Wars, But Rather Through Racial Decay And The Destruction Of Their Internal Order.

If I Can Send The Flower Of The German Nation Into The Hell Of War Without The Smallest Pity For The Shedding Of Precious German Blood, Then Surely I Have The Right To Remove Millions Of An Inferior Race That Breeds Like Vermin.

Only A Handful Of Germans In The Reich Had The Slightest Conception Of The Eternal And Merciless Struggle For The German Language, German Schools, And A German Way Of Life. Only Today, When The Same Deplorable Misery Is Forced On Many Millions Of Germans From The Reich, Who Under Foreign Rule Dream Of Their Common Fatherland And Strive, Amid Their Longing, At Least To Preserve Their Holy Right To Their Mother Tongue, Do Wider Circles Understand What It Means To Be Forced To Fight For One's Nationality.

The President Of The United States Has A Much Wider Power Than The German Kaiser Had, For He Depended On Parliament.

Benefit To The Community Precedes Benefit To The Individual.

Great Liars Are Also Great Magicians.

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, Virtue Lies In Blood, Leadership Is Primary And Decisive

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.

I Believe In Providence And I Believe Providence To Be Just. Therefore I Believe That Providence Always Rewards The Strong, The Industrious, And The Upright.

I Go The Way That Providence Dictates With The Assurance 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.

Whoever Wants To Understand National Socialist Germany Must Know Wagner.

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 [national Socialist] Party...is Convinced That Our Nation Can Achieve Permanent Health Only From Within On The Basis Of The Principle: The Common Interest Before Self-interest.

From Millions Of Men . . . One Man Must Step Forward Who With Apodictic Force Will Form Granite Principles From The Wavering Idea-world Of The Broad Masses And Take Up The Struggle For Their Sole Correctness, Until From The Shifting Waves Of A Fre Thought-world There Will Arise A Brazen Cliff Of Solid Unity In Faith And Will.

The Main Plank In The National Socialist Program Is To Abolish The Liberalistic Concept Of The Individual And The Marxist Concept Of Humanity And To Substitute For Them The Folk Community, Rooted In The Soil And Bound Together By The Bond Of Its Common Blood.

When Diplomacy Ends, War Begins.

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.

Struggle Is Gruesome Only For The Weak.

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.
