SOME KEY HITLER QUOTES
HITLER'S
DEFINITION OF IDEOLOGY
Our
party. What is it?
What do we believe? Here is
the foundation of our party:
First,
we shall be the party of truth.
Second,
we shall be a party without compromise.
Third,
we shall be a party with total political control over Germany.
(Nuremburg, Address to Party Leaders, 9/10/1934)
HITLER'S
VISION OF ART
Whoever
wants to understand National Socialist Germany must first know Wagner.
Art
demands fanaticism.
HITLER'S
VISION OF DESTINY
CLAIMING THE MANDATE OF GOD
We
are not a movement. Rather we are a religion.
We
cannot give up what makes life worth living.
Ours is a great mission.
The
mission was not given to us by a worldly superior but by God, who created our
nation. (Nuremburg 1935)
I
am well aware of what man can do and where his limits lie, but I hold to the
conviction that men who have been created by God ought to live in accordance
with the will of the Almighty...
No
matter how weak an individual may be, the minute that he acts in accordance with
the hand of Fate, he becomes more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
There streams down upon him the force that has marked all greatness in
world history.
When
I look back on the five years that lie behind us, I feel I am justified in
saying that this has not been the work of man alone.
THE POWER OF A POLITICAL PROPHET
At
this hour do we not again feel the miracle that has brought us together.
Long
ago you heard the voice of a man and it remained in your hearts, it awakened you
and you followed this voice. You
followed it for years without so much as having seen him whose voice it was.
You heard only a voice and you followed.
When we meet here, do we not feel the wonder of it all? Not every one of you can see me, and I cannot see every one of you. But I feel you, and you feel me.
It is faith in our nation
that has made small people great, that has made
anxious people courageous, and has joined us together.
Address to Party Leaders, Nuremburg, 9/11/1936
HITLER
ON LEADERSHIP AND FATE
To take abstract and general principles, derived from a
philosophy which is based on a solid foundation of truth, and transform them
into a militant community whose members have the same political faith –
a
community which is precisely defined, rigidly organized, of one mind and one
will –
such a transformation is the most important task of all; for the
possibility of successfully carrying out the idea is dependent on the successful
fulfillment of that task.
Out of the army of millions who feel the truth of these
ideas, and even may understand them to some extent, one man must arise.
This man must have the gift of being able to expound general ideas in a clear
and definite form, and, from the world of vague ideas shimmering before the
minds of the masses,
he must formulate principles that will be as clear-cut and
firm as granite.
He must fight for these principles as the only true ones, until
a solid rock of common faith and common will emerges above the troubled waves of
various ideas.
Mein Kampf, Volume II, Chapter 1
The
man who feels called upon to govern a people has no right to wait for his
opportunity to come to him. No!
It is his duty to step forward.
