Youth is a malady of which one becomes cured a little every day.

What the proletariat needs is a bath of blood.

I've had my fill of Hitler. These conferences called by the ringing of a bell are not to my liking. The bell is rung when people call their servants. And besides, what kind of conferences are these? For five hours I am forced to listen to a monologue which is quite fruitless and boring

Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state's.
Benito Mussolini
Image
[The Fuhrer] is one of those lonely men of the ages on whom history is not tested, but who themselves are the makers of history.
Benito Mussolini

There is the great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the State and the Individual between the State which demands and the individual who attempts to evade such demands. Because the individual, left to himself, unless he be a saint or hero, always refuses to pay taxes, obey laws, or go to war.

Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter's prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes' excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived in their relation to the State.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands and an infinite scorn in our hearts.
Benito Mussolini

It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better.
Benito Mussolini
Image
The state reserves the right to be the sole interpreter of the needs of society.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fascism is a religious conception in which man is seen in his immanent relationship with a superior law and with an objective Will that transcends the particular individual.
Benito Mussolini
Image
It was only one life. What is one life in the affairs of a state?
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Liberty is no longer the virgin, chaste and severe, to be fought for ... we have buried the putrid corpse of liberty ... the Italian people are a race of sheep.
