Peace is a desire, war is a fact; and history has never paid heed to human desires and ideals.

Fortunately, at the last hour, there were always a few soldiers to save Civilization.

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.

One does not reflect on a point of honor - that is already dishonor. To submit to insult, to forget a humiliation, to quail before an enemy - all these are signs of a life become worthless and superfluous.

Socialism is nothing but the capitalism of the lower classes.

If few can stand a long war without deterioration of soul, none can stand a long peace.

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.
