To Be A Leader Means To Be Able To Move Masses

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

[the Crowd] Will Finally Succeed In Remembering Only The Simplest Concepts Repeated A Thousand Times.

But Christianity Is An Invention Of Sick Brains: One Could Imagine Nothing More Senseless, Nor Any More Indecent Way Of Turning The Idea Of The Godhead Into A Mockery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For Over Five Years This Man [winston Churchill] Has Been Chasing Around Europe Like A Madman In Search Of Something He Could Set On Fire. Unfortunately He Again And Again Finds Hirelings Who Open The Gates Of Their Country To This International Incendiary.

The Anti-semitism Of The New Movement Was Based On Religious Ideas Instead Of Racial Knowledge.

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 (...)

What Luck For Rulers That Men Do Not Think.

I Am Quite Sure That Very Few Of The So-called Reds In Spain Were Really Communists. We Were Badly Deceived, For, Had I Known The Real State Of Affairs, I Would Never Have Allowed Our Aircraft To Bombard And Destroy A Starving Population And At The Same Time Re-establish The Spanish Clergy In All Their Horrible Privileges. (10th February 1945)

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.

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.

If, In The Course Of A Thousand Or Two Thousand Years, Science Arrives At The Necessity Of Renewing Its Points Of View, That Will Not Mean That Science Is A Liar. Science Cannot Lie, For It's Always Striving, According To The Momentary State Of Knowledge, To Deduce What Is True. When It Makes A Mistake, It Does So In Good Faith. It's Christianity That's The Liar. It's In Perpetual Conflict With Itself.

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 Does Not Forgive Weakness.

[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.

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.

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.

This Arch-liar Today Shows That Britain Never Was In A Position To Wage War Alone. This Gabbler, This Drunkard Churchill. And Then His Accomplice In The White House, This Mad Fool.

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.

...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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

We Must, Therefore, Coolly And Objectively Adopt The Standpoint That It Can Certainly Not Be The Intention Of Heaven To Give One People Fifty Times As Much Land And Soil In This World As Another.

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

May Therefore God Give Us The Strength To Continue To Do Our Duty And With This Prayer We Bow In Homage Before Our Dead Heroes, Before Those Whom They Have Left Behind In Bereavement, And Before All The Other Victims Of This War.

If Artists Do See Fields Blue They Are Deranged, And Should Go To An Asylum. If They Only Pretend To See Them Blue, They Are Criminals And Should Go To Prison.

The State Is A Means To An End. Its End Lies In The Preservation And Advancement Of A Community Of Physically And Psychically Homogenous Creatures.

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

I Began To Study Again, And Now For The First Time Really Achieved An Understanding Of The Content Of The Jew Karl Marx's Life Effort. Only Now Did His Capital Become Really Intelligible To Me, And Also The Struggle Of The Social Democracy Against The National Economy, Which Aims Only To Prepare The Ground For The Domination Of Truly International Finance And Stock Exchange Capital.

Propaganda Must Not Serve The Truth, Especially As It Might Bring Out Something Favorable For The Opponent.

No Politician Should Ever Let Himself Be Photographed In A Bathing Suit.

National Socialism Will Use Its Own Revolution For Establishing Of A New World Order.

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

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 Parliamentary Principle Of Vesting Legislative Power In The Decision Of The Majority Rejects The Authority Of The Individual And Puts A Numerical Quota Of Anonymous Heads In Its Place. In Doing So It Contradicts The Aristocratic Principle, Which Is A Fundamental Law Of Nature.

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.

The Broad Mass Of A Nation Will More Easily Fall Victim To A Big Lie Than A Small One. The Greater The Lie, The Greater Chance That It Will Be Believed. All Epoch-making Events Have Been Produced Not By The Written, But The Spoken Word.

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.

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.

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.

I Know The Horrors Of War: No Gains Can Compensate For The Losses It Brings.

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.

All In All, This Whole Period Of Winter 1919-20 Was A Single Struggle To Strengthen Confidence In The Victorious Might Of The Young Movement And Raise It To That Fanaticism Of Faith Which Can Move Mountains.

Defend Paris To The Last, Destroy All Bridges Over The Seine And Devastate The City.

Was There Any Form Of Filth Or Crime Without At Least One Jew Involved In It? If You Cut Into Such A Sore, You Find, Like A Maggot In A Rotting Body, Often Dazzled By The Sudden Light, A Jew.

A Stronger Race Will Drive Out The Weaker Ones, For The Vital Urge In Its Ultimate Form Will Break Down The Absurd Barriers Of The So Called Humanity Of Individuals To Make Way For The Humanity Of Nature Which Destroys The Weak To Give Their Place To The Strong.

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

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

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

While Both Denominations Maintain Missions In Asia And Africa In Order To Win New Followers For Their Doctrine- An Activity Which Can Boast But Very Modest Success Compared To The Advance Of The Mohammedan Faith In Particular- Right Here In Europe They Lose Millions And Millions Of Inward Adherents Who Either Are Alien To All Religious Life Or Simply Go Their Own Ways. The Consequences, Particularly From A Moral Point Of View, Are Not Favorable.

The Application Of Force Alone, Without Support Based On A Spiritual Concept, Can Never Bring About The Destruction Of An Idea Or Arrest The Propagation Of It, Unless One Is Ready And Able To Ruthlessly To Exterminate The Last Upholders Of That Idea Even To A Man, And Also Wipe Out Any Tradition Which It May Tend To Leave Behind.

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.

Not As Tyrants Have We Come, But As Liberators.

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.

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

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.

Pressure Or Violence Will Ever Move Us To Relinquish Our Honor Or Our Equality Of Rights.

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.

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.

When Diplomacy Ends, War Begins.

...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.

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

The Demand That Defective People Be Prevented From Propagating Equally Defective Offspring Is A Demand Of The Clearest Reason And If Systematically Executed Represents The Most Humane Act Of Mankind.

The Fight Against Jewish World Bolshevization Requires A Clear Attitude Toward Soviet Russia. You Cannot Drive Out The Devil With Beelzebub.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Everlasting Peace Will Come To The World When The Last Man Has Slain The Last But One.

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.

...we Must Pray To The Almighty Not To Refuse His Blessing To This Change And Not To Abandon Our People In The Times To Come.

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 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.

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.

Truly, This Earth Is A Trophy Cup For The Industrious Man. And This Rightly So, In The Service Of Natural Selection. He Who Does Not Possess The Force To Secure His Lebensraum In This World, And, If Necessary, To Enlarge It, Does Not Deserve To Possess The Necessities Of Life. He Must Step Aside And Allow Stronger Peoples To Pass Him By.

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.

Terrorism Is The Best Political Weapon For Nothing Drives People Harder Than A Fear Of Sudden Death.

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

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

[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.

Think Thousand Times Before Taking A Decision But - After Taking Decison Never Turn Back Even If You Get Thousand Difficulties!!

As For The Jews, I Am Just Carrying On With The Same Policy Which The Catholic Church Has Adopted For Fifteen Hundred Years, When It Has Regarded The Jews As Dangerous And Pushed Them Into Ghettos Etc., Because It Knew What The Jews Were Like. I Don't Put Race Above Religion, But I Do See The Danger In The Representatives Of This Race For Church And State, And Perhaps I Am Doing Christianity A Great Service.

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

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.

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.

If Positive Christianity Means Love Of One's Neighbour, I.e. The Tending Of The Sick, The Clothing Of The Poor, The Feeding Of The Hungry, The Giving Of Drink To Those Who Are Thirsty, Then It Is We Who Are The More Positive Christians. For In These Spheres The Community Of The People Of National Socialist Germany Has Accomplished A Prodigious Work.

In The Course Of History No People Have Ever Been Given Freedom Like A Present, And If Freedom Did Not Cost Anything Than No People Would Ever Keep It! Freedom Has A High Price, And Men Must Ever Struggle To Preserve It.

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.

All Advertising, Whether It Lies In The Field Of Business Or Of Politics, Will Carry Success By Continuity And Regular Uniformity Of Application.

Our Enemies Must Not Deceive Themselves-in The 2,000 Years Of German History Known To Us, Our People Have Never Been More United Than Today. The Lord Of The Universe Has Treated Us So Well In The Past Years That We Bow In Gratitude To A Providence Which Has Allowed Us To Be Members Of Such A Great Nation. We Thank Him That We Also Can Be Entered With Honor Into The Ever-lasting Book Of German History!

Money Glitters, Beauty Sparkles, And Intelligence Shines.

Strength Lies Not In Defence But In Attack

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.

It Is A Mistake To Make Propaganda Many-sided, Like Scientific Instruction, For Instance... As Soon As You Sacrifice This Slogan And Try To Be Many-sided, The Effect Will Piddle Away, For The Crowd Can Neither Digest Nor Retain The Material Offered.

Differentiation Of Treatment Is Not Motivated By The Difference Of Value Of The Two Races, But Of The Fundamental Difference Of Their Respective Natures.

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.

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.

Only So You Can Appeal To Your God And Pray Him To Support And Bless Your Courage, Your Work, Your Perseverance, Your Strength, Your Resolution, And With All These Your Claim On Life.

The Disastrous Consequences Of Widespread European Butchery In The Future Would Be Even Worse.

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.

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

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.

Gentlemen, You Are About To Witness The Most Famous Victory In History.

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

Desperate Situations

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

An Evil Exists That Threatens Every Man, Woman, And Child Of This Great Nation. We Must Take Steps To Ensure Our Domestic Security And Protect Our Homeland.

Thus One Of Europe's Most Serious Crises Will Be Ended, And All Of Us, Not Only In Germany But Those Far Beyond Our Frontiers, Will Then In This Year For The First Time Really Rejoice At The Christmas Festival. It Should For Us All Be A True Festival Of Peace.

The Only Preventative Measure One Can Take Is To Live Irregularly.

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.

National Socialism Is What Marxism Might Have Been If It Could Have Broken Its Absurd And Artificial Ties With A Democratic Order.

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

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.

But The Most Brilliant Propagandist Technique Will Yield No Success Unless One Fundamental Principle Is Borne In Mind Constantly And With Unflagging Attention. It Must Confine Itself To A Few Points And Repeat Them Over And Over. Here, As So Often In This World, Persistence Is The First And Most Important Requirement For Success.

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.

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.

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.

Under The Guidance Of The Reich, Europe Would Speedily Have Become Unified. Once The Jewish Poison Had Been Eradicated, Unification Would Have Been An Easy Matter. France And Italy, Each Defeated In Turn At An Interval Of A Few Months By The Two Germanic Powers, Would Have Been Well Out Of It. Both Would Have Had To Renounce Their Inappropriate Aspirations To Greatness. At The Same Time They Would Have Had To Renounce Their Pretensions In North Africa And The Near East; And That Would Have Allowed Europe To Pursue A Bold Policy Of Friendship Towards Islam.

The Struggle For World Domination Is Between Me And The Jews. All Else Is Meaningless. The Jews Have Inflicted Two Wounds On The World: Circumcision For The Body And Conscience For The Soul. I Come To Free Mankind From Their Shackles.

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.

Great Liars Are Also Great Magicians.

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.

The Size Of The Lie Is A Definite Factor In Causing It To Be Believed, For The Vast Masses Of The Nation Are In The Depths Of Their Hearts More Easily Deceived Than They Are Consciously And Intentionally Bad. The Primitive Simplicity Of Their Minds Renders Them A More Easy Prey To A Big Lie Than A Small One, For They Themselves Often Tell Little Lies But Would Be Ashamed To Tell A Big One.

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)

On Positive Liberty: The Business Of The State Is To Use Its Organizing Powers For The Purpose Of Furnishing The Necessary Conditions Which Allow This People Freely To Unfold Its Creative Faculties.

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.

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.

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.
