More From Adolf Hitler

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.

...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 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.

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

Politics Is History In The Making.

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

...the Fall Of Man In Paradise Has Always Been Followed By His Expulsion.

All Great Movements Are Popular Movements. They Are The Volcanic Eruptions Of Human Passions And Emotions, Stirred Into Activity By The Ruthless Goddess Of Distress Or By The Torch Of The Spoken Word Cast Into The Midst Of The People.

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

The Heaviest Blow That Ever Struck Humanity Was The Coming Of Christianity. Bolshevism Is Christianity's Illegitimate Child. Both Are Inventions Of The Jew.

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.

Why Should This War In The West Be Fought For The Restoration Of Poland? The Poland Of The Versailles Treaty Will Never Rise Again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Kill, Destroy, Sack, Tell Lie; How Much You Want After Victory Nobody Asks Why?

For The Folk-community Does Not Exist On The Fictitious Value Of Money But On The Results Of Productive Labour, Which Is What Gives Money Its Value.

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.

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.

I Die With A Joyful Heart In The Knowledge Of Our Infinite Achievements And Of A Contribution Unique In The History That Bears My Name.

The Ten Commandments Have Lost Their Validity...conscience Is A Jewish Invention. It Is A Blemish Like Circumcision.

The National Government...will Maintain And Defend The Foundations On Which The Power Of Our Nation Rests. It Will Offer Strong Protection To Christianity As The Very Basis Of Our Collective Morality.

Germany Has Concluded A Non-aggression Pact With Poland. We Shall Adhere To It Unconditionally. We Recognize Poland As The Home Of A Great And Nationally Conscious People.

The Most Foolish Mistake We Could Possibly Make Would Be To Permit The Conquered Eastern Peoples To Have Arms. History Teaches That All Conquerors Who Have Allowed Their Subject Races To Carry Arms Have Prepared Their Own Downfall By Doing So.

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.

Today In May 1938, The World Around Us Suffers From The Anxiety Which The Unemployment Of Millions Brings With It. In Germany We Begin To Be Anxious Because We Have Not Enough Workmen.

I Believe That Those Who Knew Me [in My Youth] Took Me For An Eccentric.

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?

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.

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

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.

Any Violence Which Does Not Spring From A Spiritual Base, Will Be Wavering And Uncertain. It Lacks The Stability Which Can Only Rest In A Fanatical Outlook.

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

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.

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.

It Must Be Thoroughly Understood That The Lost Land Will Never Be Won Back By Solemn Appeals To The God, Nor By Hopes In Any League Of Nations, But Only By The Force Of Arms.

Pride In One's Own Race - And That Does Not Imply Contempt For Other Races - Is ... A Normal And Healthy Sentiment.

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

By The Skillful And Sustained Use Of Propaganda, One Can Make A People See Even Heaven As Hell Or An Extremely Wretched Life As Paradise.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Reading Is Not An End To Itself, But A Means To An End.

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'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 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.

The Sacrifice Of Personal Existence Is Necessary To Secure The Preservation Of The Species.

Wipe Out The Entire Defense Potential Remaining To The Soviets.

A Man Who Has No Sense Of History Is Like A Man Who Has No Ears Or No Eyes.

The Very First Essential For Success Is A Perpetually Constant And Regular Employment Of Violence.

By Helping To Raise Man Above The Level Of Bestial Vegetation, Faith Contributes In Reality To The Securing And Safeguarding Of His Existence. Take Away From Present-day Mankind Its Education-based, Religious-dogmatic Principles- Or, Practically Speaking, Ethical-moral Principles- By Abolishing This Religious Education, But Without Replacing It By An Equivalent, And The Result Will Be A Grave Shock To The Foundations Of Their Existence.

Theater, Art, Literature, Cinema, Press, Posters, And Window Displays Must Be Cleansed Of All Manifestations Of Our Rotting World And Placed In The Service Of A Moral, Political, And Cultural Idea.

The Truth Is The Best Propaganda.

When Over Long Periods Of Human History I Scrutinized The Activity Of The Jewish People, Suddenly There Arose Up In Me The Fearful Question Whether Inscrutable Destiny, Perhaps For Reasons Unknown To Us Poor Mortals, Did Not, With Eternal And Immutable Resolve, Desire The Final Victory Of This Little Nation.

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 Grossly Impudent Lie Always Leaves Traces Behind It, Even After It Has Been Nailed Down.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

After 15 Years Of Work I Have Achieved, As A Common German Soldier And Merely With My Fanatical Willpower, The Unity Of The German Nation, And Have Freed It From The Death Sentence Of Versailles.

Protestantism As Such Is A Better Defender Of The Interests Of Germanism, In So Far As This Is Grounded In Its Genesis And Later Tradition; It Fails, However, In The Moment When This Defense Of National Interests Must Take Place In A Province Which Is Either Absent From The General Line Of Its Ideological World And Traditional Development, Or Is For Some Reason Rejected.

The Dogma Of Christianity Gets Worn Away Before The Advances Of Science. Religion Will Have To Make More And More Concessions. Gradually The Myths Crumble.

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

This Pride Of Race Is A Quality Which The German, Fundamentally, Does Not Possess. The Reason For This Is That For These Last Three Centuries The Country Has Been Torn By Internal Dissension And Religious Wars And Has Been Subjected To A Variety Of Foreign Influences, To The Influence, For Example, Of Christianity-for Christianity Is Not A Natural Religion For The Germans, But A Religion That Has Been Imported And Which Strikes No Responsive Chord In Their Hearts And Is Foreign To The Inherent Genius Of The Race. (13th February 1945)

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.

Imbued With The Desire To Secure For The German People The Great Religious, Moral, And Cultural Values Rooted In The Two Christian Confessions, We Have Abolished The Political Organizations But Strengthened The Religious Institutions.

Thus My Faith Grew That My Beautiful Dream For The Future Would Become Reality After All, Even Though This Might Require Long Years.

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.

I Shall Not Rest Until Every German Sees That It Is A Shameful Thing To Be A Lawyer.

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

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 More The Linguistic Babel Corroded And Disorganized Parliament, The Closer Drew The Inevitable Hour Of The Disintegration Of This Babylonian Empire, And With It The Hour Of Freedom For My German-austrian People.

For We Love Liberty Just As We Love Peace.

Either One Is Factually Equal, And Consequently Morally Equal As Well; On The Other Hand, If One Is Morally Equal, There Is No Reason Why One Should Contest Factual Equality Of Rights Or Simply Refuse To Grant Them.

How Many Of My Basic Principles Were Upset By This Change In My Attitude Toward The Christian Social Movement! My Views With Regard To Anti-semitism Thus Succumbed To The Passage Of Time, And This Was My Greatest Transformation Of All.

The Personification Of The Devil As The Symbol Of All Evil Assumes The Living Shape Of The Jew.

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.

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.

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

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.

Life Never Forgives Weaknesses.

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

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.

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 Victor Will Never Be Asked If He Told The Truth.

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.

I Can Not Be Mistaken - What I Say And Do Is Historical.i Follow My Life With The Precision And Security Of A Sleep Walker

Hence Today I Believe That I Am Acting In Accordance With The Will Of The Almighty Creator: By Defending Myself Against The Jew, I Am Fighting For The Work Of The Lord.

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.

I Am A German Nationalist, That Means I Am Openly Committed To My Volkstrum. All Of My Thoughts And Actions Belong To It. I Am A Socialist. I See Before Me No Class Or Rank, But Rather A Community Of People Who Are Connected By Blood, United By Language, And Subject To The Same Collective Fate.

All Work Which Is Necessary Ennobles Him Who Performs It. Only One Thing Is Shameful - To Contribute Nothing To The Community.

Anyone Who Sees And Paints A Sky Green And Fields Blue Ought To Be Sterilized.

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.

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

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

The German People In Its Whole Character Is Not Warlike, But Rather Soldierly, That Is, While They Do Not Want War, They Are Not Frightened By The Thoughts Of It.

As In Everything, Nature Is The Best Instructor.

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.

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

Industry, Technology, And Commerce Can Thrive Only As Long As An Idealistic National Community Offers The Necessary Preconditions. And These Do Not Lie In Material Egoism, But In A Spirit Of Sacrifice And Joyful Renunciation.

Hate Is More Lasting Than Dislike.

Brutality Creates Respect.

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

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.

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

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

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

We Were Convinced That The People Need And Require This Faith. We Have Therefore Undertaken The Fight Against The Atheistic Movement, And That Not Merely With A Few Theoretical Declarations; We Have Stamped It Out.

Man Has Become Great Through Struggle

When Folk Have Set Before Them A True Purpose And Then Pursue It Unmoved With Bravery And Courage, When They Withstand With A Strong Heart Every Trial Which Heaven Sends Upon Them, Then One Day At The Last Almighty Providence Will Yet Grant Them The Fruits Of Their Struggle And Of Their Sacrifices. For God Has Never Abandoned Any Man Upon This Earth Unless He Has First Abandoned Himself.

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

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

In Order To Persuade Britain To Pack Up, To Compel Her To Make Peace, It Was Essential To Rob Her Of Her Hope Of Being Able Still To Confront Us, On The Continent Itself, With An Adversary Of A Stature Equal To Our Own.

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

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.

As Long As The National Socialist Movement Is Leading Germany-and That Will Be The Case For The Next Few Centuries, No Matter How Often Our Emigrants Conjure Up The Opposite View- This Opinion Will Not Change.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 Am Personally Convinced Of The Great Power And Deep Significance Of Christianity, And I Won't Allow Any Other Religion To Be Promoted.

If Today I Stand Here As A Revolutionary, It Is As A Revolutionary Against The Revolution.

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.

I Have Issued The Command, And I'll Have Anybody Who Utters But One Word Of Criticism Executed By A Firing Squad, That Our War Aim Does Not Consist In Reaching Certain Lines, But In The Physical Destruction Of The Enemy. Accordingly, I Have Placed My Death's-head Formation In Readiness, For The Present Only In The East, With Orders To Them To Send To Death Mercilessly And Without Compassion, Men, Women, And Children Of Polish Derivation And Language. Only Thus Shall We Gain The Living Space Which We Need. Who, After All, Speaks Today Of The Annihilation Of The Armenians?

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

The [nazi Party] Should Not Become A Constable Of Public Opinion, But Must Dominate It. It Must Not Become A Servant Of The Masses, But Their Master!

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

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.

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

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.

Just As The World Cannot Live On Wars, So People Cannot On Revolutions

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.

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

The Government Will Make Use Of These Powers Only Insofar As They Are Essential For Carrying Out Vitally Necessary Measures.... The Separate Existence Of The Federal States Will Not Be Done Away....

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

Today I Must Humbly Thank Providence, Whose Grace Has Enabled Me, Who Was Once An Unknown Soldier In The War, To Bring To A Successful Issue The Struggle For The Restoration Of Our Honor And Rights As A Nation.

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.

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

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.

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.

Whoever Lights The Torch Of War In Europe Can Wish For Nothing But Chaos.

The Art Of Propaganda Lies In Understanding The Emotional Ideas Of The Great Masses And Finding, Through A Psychologically Correct Form, The Way To The Attention And Thence To The Heart Of The Broad Masses.

Just As A Man's Denominational Orientation Is The Result Of Upbringing, And Only The Religious Need As Such Slumbers In His Soul, The Political Opinion Of The Masses Represents Nothing But The Final Result Of An Incredibly Tenacious And Thorough Manipulation Of Their Mind And Soul.

Political Opinions

I Wouldn't Watch Football If It Wasn't For Lord Bendtner

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

For When A People Is Not Willing Or Able To Fight For Its Existence- Providence In Its Eternal Justice Has Decreed That People's End.

Heaven Will Smile On Us Again.

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.

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

The Great Masses Of People Do Not Consist Of Philosophers; Precisely For The Masses, Faith Is Often The Sole Foundation Of A Moral Attitude. The Various Substitutes Have Not Proved So Successful From The Standpoint Of Results That They Could Be Regarded As A Useful Replacement For Previous Religious Creeds. But If Religious Doctrine And Faith Are Really To Embrace The Broad Masses, The Unconditional Authority Of The Content Of This Faith Is The Foundation Of All Efficacy.

[w]e Will Do What We Like With The Bourgeoisie. ... We Give The Orders; They Do What They Are Told. Any Resistance Will Be Broken Ruthlessly.

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

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

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

Christianity Could Not Content Itself With Building Up Its Own Altar; It Was Absolutely Forced To Undertake The Destruction Of The Heathen Altars. Only From This Fanatical Intolerance Could Its Apodictic Faith Take Form; This Intolerance Is, In Fact, Its Absolute Presupposition.

For As Soon As The Procreative Faculty Is Thwarted And The Number Of Births Diminished, The Natural Struggle For Existence Which Allows Only Healthy And Strong Individuals To Survive Is Replaced By A Sheer Craze To 'save' Feeble And Even Diseased Creatures At Any Cost.
