It is my conviction that in time of war, when the cannon speaks with its powerful voice, the less we speak the better.
Benito Mussolini

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.

Fuehrer, we are on the march! Victorious Italian troops crossed the Greco-Albanian frontier at dawn today!
Benito Mussolini
Image
It was only one life. What is one life in the affairs of a state?
Benito Mussolini
Image
Three cheers for the war. Three cheers for Italy's war and three cheers for war in general. Peace is hence absurd or rather a pause in war.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fortunately the Italian people is not habituated to eating several times a day.
Benito Mussolini

We become strong, I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look to for moral guidance.
Benito Mussolini

Three cheers for war, noble and beautiful above all.
