What is liberty? There is no such thing as absolute liberty!
Benito Mussolini
Image
Believe, obey, fight.
Benito Mussolini

Democracy is a kingless regime infested by many kings who are sometimes more exclusive, tyrannical and destructive than one, even if he be a tyrant.
Benito Mussolini
Image
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.
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
Image
I am not a collector of deserts!
Benito Mussolini

Benito Mussolini
Image
The struggle between the two worlds [Fascism and Democracy] can permit no compromises. The new cycle which begins with the ninth year of the Fascist regime places the alternative in even greater relief either we or they, either their ideas or ours, either our State or theirs!

Fortunately the Italian people is not habituated to eating several times a day.
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
Image
Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state's.
Benito Mussolini
Image
For us the national flag is a rag to be planted on a dunghill. There are only two fatherlands in the world: that of the exploited and that of the exploiters.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Youth is a malady of which one becomes cured a little every day.
Benito Mussolini
Image
One moment on the battlefield is worth a thousand years of 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.
Benito Mussolini
Image
If you acquit me, you will give me great pleasure. If you condemn me you will do me honour!
Benito Mussolini
Image
Democratic regimes may be defined as those in which, every now and then, the people are given the illusion of being sovereign, while the true sovereignty in actual fact resides in other forces which are sometimes irresponsible and secret.
Benito Mussolini

It is not impossible to rule Italians, but it would be useless.
