"My feelings as a Christian point me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter... As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice...For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people."
—Speech in Munich (April 12, 1922)
"I have not come into this world to make men better, but to make use of their weaknesses."

"Then will come a National Socialist State tribunal; then will November, 1918, be expiated; then the heads will roll.

How can one expect a State like that to hold together?" (January 7, 1942)
—As quoted in Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer p. 895, from transcripts of conversations published as Hitler's Secret Conversation's, 1941 -1944 (1953).

From Mein Kampf (1925)

The application of force alone, without moral support based on a spiritual concept, can never bring about the destruction of an idea or arrest the propagation of it, unless one is ready and able ruthlessly to exterminate the last upholders of that idea even to a man, and also wipe out any tradition which it may tend to leave behind.

Any violence which does not spring from a spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain. It lacks the stability which can only rest in a fanatical outlook.

The more inferior new revolutionary movements are, the more will they try to denigrate the old forms.

But it remained for the Jews, with their unqualified capacity for falsehood, and their fighting comrades, the Marxists ... By placing responsibility for the loss of the world war on the shoulders of Ludendorff they took away the weapon of moral right from the only adversary dangerous enough to be likely to succeed in bringing the betrayers of the Fatherland to Justice. All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.

No matter what an amount of talent employed in the organization of propaganda, it will have no result if due account is not taken of these fundamental principles. Propaganda must be limited to a few simple themes and these must be represented again and again. Here, as in innumerable other cases, perseverance is the first and most important condition of success.

From an English translation of Mein Kampf by James Murphy, February, 1939
Variant: No amount of genius spent on the creation of propaganda will lead to success if a fundamental principle is not forever kept in mind. Propaganda must confine itself to very few points, and repeat them endlessly. Here, as with so many things in this world, persistence is the first and foremost condition of success.

While the Goddess of suffering took me in her arms often threatening to crush me... my will to resistance grew and in the end that will was victorious.

The gigantic North American State, with the enormous resources of its virgin soil, is much more invulnerable than the encircled German Reich. Should a day come when the die which will finally decide the destinies of the nations will have to be cast in that country, England would be doomed if she stood alone.

We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.

Was there any excrement, any shamelessness in any form, above all in cultural life, in which at least one Jew would not have been involved? As soon as one even carefully cut into such an abscess, one found, like maggots in a decaying body, often blinded by the sudden light, a kike. [1]
It may be that today gold has become the exclusive ruler of life, but the time will come when man will again bow down before a higher god.
Anyone who dares to lay hands on the highest image of the Lord commits sacrilege against the benevolent creator of this miracle and contributes to the expulsion from paradise.
This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief.
I can fight only for something that I love, love only what I respect, and respect only what I at least know.

From the "The Political Testament of Adolf Hitler" (1945)

Note: The authenticity of Hitler's political testament is uncertain; therefore the veracity of the quotes below depend on its authenticity.

I have never regarded the Chinese or the Japanese as being inferior to ourselves. They belong to ancient civilizations, and I admit freely that their past history is superior to our own. They have the right to be proud of their past, just as we have the right to be proud of the civilization to which we belong. Indeed, I believe the more steadfast the Chinese and the Japanese remain in their pride of race, the easier I shall find it to get on with them.
...you can rely on the Jews: as long as they survive, anti-semitism will never fade.

"Brennt Paris? (Is Paris burning?)"
- Quoted upon hearing the news of the fall of Paris to German troops, 1940.
"Mr. Chamberlain likes to take weekends in the country; I shall take countries in the weekend!"
- Spoken of Neville Chamberlain, Churchill's dovish predecessor as British Prime Minister.
All you have to do is kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will crumble to the ground.
- Statement in planning the invasion of the Soviet Union.
I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked afterwards, whether he told the truth or not. When starting and waging war it is not right that matters but victory. Close your hearts to pity. Act brutally, eighty million people must obtain what is their right. Their existence must be made secure. The strongest man is right.
Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith.
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.
What luck for the rulers that men do not think.
