Quote

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.

The one means that wins the easiest victory over reason is terror and force.
Adolf Hitler
Image
If freedom is short of weapons, we must compensate with willpower.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
People have killed only when they could not achieve their aim in other ways there is a broadened strategy, with intellectual weapons why should I demoralize the enemy by military means if I can do so better and more cheaply in other ways?
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.

Today we rule Germany, tomorrow, the world.

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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked afterwards whether he told the truth or not. When starting and waging war it is not right that matters, but victory.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Germany must either be a world power or there will be no Germany
Adolf Hitler
Image
A man who has no sense of history is like a man who has no ears or no eyes.
Adolf Hitler
Image
The beginning of every war is like opening the door into a dark room. One never knows what is hidden in the darkness.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.

In a war the last thing the English know is how to practice fair play.

Nudity is undignified and an error of taste
Adolf Hitler
Image
How fortunate for leaders that men do not think (also, What luck for rulers that men do not think).
Adolf Hitler
Image
I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal.
Adolf Hitler

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.
