“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”

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.

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.

In the newspapers there is insulting and stirring up hatred. Those irresponsible daubers!

The masses need something that will give them a thrill of horror.

The modern man is necessarily a seeker of God, maybe a Man of Christ.

Devotion, fervor, longing! Those are my pillars. We have to be the bridge to the future.

I believe in God. When everything collapses, we grip the last hold, we look from the secure haven how the godless society of the old, holy Europe falls apart. May the game begin.

This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.

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.

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.

Hypocrisy is the characteristic feature of the dying bourgeois epoch.

Do not seek Adolf Hitler with your mind. You will find him through the strength of your hearts.

If you tell a lie, tell a big one.

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.

We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time, or as the greatest criminals.

The life is worth living. It’s not true, what the tired and reactionary say. We’re not on this earth to suffer and die. We’re here to fulfill a mission.

You don’t really know what to believe until the Government denies it.

Administrators are there because of the fans and the cricketers to run this game, so credibility of a game, or a board, or even a government for that matter, is important irrespective of what you do. If you are in public life it is important.

We are imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.

Old forms of government finally grow so oppressive that they must be thrown off even at the risk of reigns of terror.

Government ought to be all outside and no inside. Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.

In Europe, Socialism is just another political party. It just means that government takes over certain things like hospitals, prisons, military and schools that should not be run for profit.

We have a government of limited power under the Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law.

I do not want a government that will take care of me, I want a government that will make other men take their hands off me so I can take care of myself.
