Quote

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.

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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Catholics and Protestants are fighting with one another... while the enemy of Aryan humanity and all Christendom is laughing up his sleeve.
Adolf Hitler
Image
There is something very unhealthy about Christianity.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Our teachers were absolute tyrants. They had no sympathy with youth their one object was to stuff our brains and turn us into erudite apes like themselves. If any pupil showed the slightest trace of originality, they persecuted him relentlessly, and the only model pupils whom I have ever got to know have all been failures in after-life.
Adolf Hitler

The German people have no idea of the extent to which they have to be gulled in order to be led.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the 'remaking' of the Reich as they call it.
Adolf Hitler
Image
But in the great hour Heaven sent the German people a great man, Herr von Cuno.
Adolf Hitler
Image
...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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.
Adolf Hitler
Image
In vowing ourselves to one another, we are entitled to stand before the Almighty and ask Him for His grace and His blessing.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Differentiation of treatment is not motivated by the difference of value of the two races, but of the fundamental difference of their respective natures.
Adolf Hitler
Image
We have now armed to such an extent as the world has never before seen.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
...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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Imagine me going around with a pot belly. It would mean political ruin.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
I desire a violent, domineering, fearless, and ferocious upcoming generation. It must be able to bear pain. It must show no signs whatsoever of weakness or tenderness. The free and magnificent predator must once again glint from their eyes.
Adolf Hitler
Image
The German countryside must be preserved under all circumstances, for it is and has forever been the source of strength and greatness of our people.
Adolf Hitler
