“Long live Germany. Long live Austria. Long live Argentina. These are the countries with which I have been most closely associated and I shall not forget them. I had to obey the rules of war and my flag. I am ready.”

Your time will come to follow me Jew

Repentance is for little children.

I will leap into my grave laughing because the feeling that I have five million human beings on my conscience is for me a source of extraordinary satisfaction.

I am certain, however, that those responsible for the murder of millions of Germans will never be brought to justice.

Adolf Hitler may have been wrong all down the line, but one thing is beyond dispute: the man was able to work his way up from lance corporal in the German Army to Führer of a people of almost 80 million. His success alone proved that I should subordinate myself to this man.

From my childhood, obedience was something I could not get out of my system. When I entered the armed service at the age of twenty-seven, I found being obedient not a bit more difficult than it had been during my life to that point. It was unthinkable that I would not follow orders.

I never did anything, great or small, without obtaining in advance express instructions from Adolf Hitler or any of my superiors.

I was one of the many horses pulling the wagon and couldn’t escape left or right because of the will of the driver.

My political sentiments inclined toward the left and emphasized the socialist aspects every bit as much as nationalist ones.

To sum it all up, I must say that I regret nothing.

Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one’s own need to think.

As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.

The thing about music is that nobody listens to it unless it’s real. I don’t think that you can fool anybody for too long in music. And you certainly can’t fool everybody.

Be amusing: never tell unkind stories; above all, never tell long ones.

I’ve known Donald forever, and I know the bad things they say about Donald Trump is not true because I’ve known him as a friend for so long. I’ve seen what he’s done for all types of people.

I like to have this gut to put my elbow on it when I putt because I did it for so long. I just feel healthier this way.

The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk.

Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been.

You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.
