More quotes by Joseph Goebbels
I'm so despondent about everything. Everything I try goes totally wrong. There's no escape from this hole here. I feel drained. So far, I still haven't found a real purpose in life. Sometimes, I'm afraid to get out of bed in the morning. There's nothing to get up for.
Joseph Goebbels
At night I sit in my chamber and read the bible. Far in the distance roars the sea. Then I lie down and think for a long time about the calm and pale man from Nazareth.
Joseph Goebbels
Man only honors what he conquers or defends.
Joseph Goebbels
Crisis is the path to happiness. Decay and disintegration do not spell doom, but ascent and beginning. The powerful forces of a new creation operate in the hush beyond the noise of the day.
Joseph Goebbels
Our starting point is not the individual: We do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the naked … Our objectives are different: We must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world.
Joseph Goebbels
Propaganda is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. If the means achieves the end then the means is good... the new Ministry has no other aim than to unite the nation behind the ideal of the national revolution.
Joseph Goebbels
Once more a red fire blows steeply upwards...the factory will do no more work for Herr Churchill...tomorrow morning Coventry will lie in smoke and ruins.
Joseph Goebbels
Christ cannot possibly have been a Jew. I don't have to prove that scientifically. It's a fact.
Joseph Goebbels
It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.
Joseph Goebbels
Revolutions are spiritual acts. They appear first in people, then in politics and the economy. New people form new structures. The transformation we want is first of all spiritual that will necessarily change the way things are.
Joseph Goebbels
That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.
Joseph Goebbels
The war we are fighting until victory or the bitter end is in its deepest sense a war between Christ and Marx. Christ: the principle of love. Marx: the principle of hate.
Joseph Goebbels
The English follow the principle that when one lies, it should be a big lie, and one should stick to it.
Joseph Goebbels
What does Christianity mean today? National Socialism is a religion. All we lack is a religious genius capable of uprooting outmoded religious practices and putting new ones in their place.
Joseph Goebbels
A Jew is for me an object of disgust. I feel like vomiting when I see one. Christ could not possibly have been a Jew. It is not necessary to prove that scientifically - it is a fact. I do not need to prove this with science or scholarship. It is so!
Joseph Goebbels
If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.
Joseph Goebbels
Hypocrisy is the characteristic feature of the dying bourgeois epoch.
Joseph Goebbels
The end of the year! I draw the balance. Inquiry of conscience and request to the Spirit for progress and maturity.
Joseph Goebbels
Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.
Joseph Goebbels
Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street.
