Quote

For I must not measure the speech of a statesman to his people by the impression which it leaves in a university professor, but by the effect it exerts on the people. And this alone gives the standard for the speaker's genius.

Life does not forgive weakness.
Adolf Hitler

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.

When I was a worker I busied myself with socialist or, if you like, marxist literature.
Adolf Hitler
Image
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.

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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
It is a quite special secret pleasure how the people around us fail to realize what is really happening to them.
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.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.
