Pacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact, and if the White race decides to wage it no longer, the dark ones will, and will become the masters of the world.

More quotes by Oswald Spengler
Those who talk too much about race no longer have it in them.
Oswald Spengler
It doesn't really matter what one writes into a constitution. The important thing is what the collective instinct eventually makes of it.
Oswald Spengler
Man makes history woman is history. The reproduction of the species is feminine: it runs steadily and quietly through all species, animal or human, through all short-lived cultures. It is primary, unchanging, everlasting, maternal, plantlike, and cultureless. If we look back we find that it is synonymous with life itself.
Oswald Spengler
The last man of the world-city no longer wants to live--he may cling to life as an individual, but as a type, as an aggregate, no, for it is a characteristic of this collective existence that it eliminates the terror of death.
Oswald Spengler
And the National Socialists believe that they can afford to ignore the world or oppose it, and build their castles-in-the-air without creating a possibly silent, but very palpable reaction from abroad.
Oswald Spengler
The individual's life is of importance to none besides himself: the point is whether he wishes to escape from history or give his life for it. History recks nothing of human logic
Oswald Spengler
The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play.
Oswald Spengler
Pacifism means letting the non-pacifists have control ... Pacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact. If the white races are resolved never to wage war again, the colored will act differently and become rulers of the world.
Oswald Spengler
You are caught in the current of unceasing change. Your life is a ripple in it. Every moment of your conscious life links the infinite past with the infinite future. Take part in both and you will not find the present empty.
Oswald Spengler
When the ordinary thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard 'having children' as a question of pro's and con's, the great turning point has come.
Oswald Spengler
Every Socialist outbreak only blazes new paths for Capitalism.
Oswald Spengler
When the Englishman speaks of national wealth he means the number of millionaires in the country.
Oswald Spengler
Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism.
Oswald Spengler
Socialism is nothing but the capitalism of the lower classes.
Oswald Spengler
Optimism is cowardice.
Oswald Spengler
We have learned that history is something that takes no notice whatever of our expectations.
Oswald Spengler
All world-improvers are Socialists. And consequently there are no Classical world-improvers.
Oswald Spengler
Through money, democracy becomes its own destroyer, after money has destroyed intellect.
Oswald Spengler
Formerly no one was allowed to think freely now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to think, and this they consider freedom.
Oswald Spengler
One day the last portrait of Rembrandt and the last bar of Mozart will have ceased to be — though possibly a colored canvas and a sheet of notes will remain — because the last eye and the last ear accessible to their message will have gone.
