Hitler Mein Kampf Quotes

Reading is not an end to itself, but a means to an end.

The art of reading and studying consists in remembering the essentials and forgetting what is not essential.

The only preventative measure one can take is to live irregularly.

He who would live must fight. He who doesn't wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.

Only the Jew knew that by an able and persistent use of propaganda heaven itself can be presented to the people as if it were hell and, vice versa, the most miserable kind of life can be presented as if it were paradise. The Jew knew this and acted accordingly. But the German, or rather his Government, did not have the slightest suspicion of it. During the War the heaviest of penalties had to be paid for that ignorance. -- Mein Kampf, Chapter 10

Obstacles do not exist to be surrendered to, but only to be broken.

Be proud of your people when you don't have to be ashamed of any of its social classes.

The frailest woman will become a heroine when the life of her own child is at stake. And only the will to save the race and native land or the State, which offers protection to the race, has in all ages been the urge which has forced men to face the weapons of their enemies.

Instruction in world history in the so-called high schools is even today in a very sorry condition. Few teachers understand that the study of history can never be to learn historical dates and events by heart and recite them by rote; that what matters is not whether the child knows exactly when this battle or that was fought, when a general was born, or even when a monarch (usually a very insignificant one) came into the crown of his forefathers. No, by the living God, this is very unimportant. To 'learn' history means to seek and find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.

The scream of the twelve-inch shrapnel is more penetrating than the hiss from a thousand Jewish newspaper vipers. Therefore let them go on with their hissing.

I know that fewer people are won over by the written word than by the spoken word and that every great movement on this earth owes its growth to great speakers and not to great writers.

[Said during a debate when his opponent asserted that atheism and belief in evolution lead to Nazism:] Atheism by itself is, of course, not a moral position or a political one of any kind; it simply is the refusal to believe in a supernatural dimension. For you to say of Nazism that it was the implementation of the work of Charles Darwin is a filthy slander, undeserving of you and an insult to this audience. Darwin’s thought was not taught in Germany; Darwinism was so derided in Germany along with every other form of unbelief that all the great modern atheists, Darwin, Einstein and Freud were alike despised by the National Socialist regime. Now, just to take the most notorious of the 20th century totalitarianisms – the most finished example, the most perfected one, the most ruthless and refined one: that of National Socialism, the one that fortunately allowed the escape of all these great atheists, thinkers and many others, to the United States, a country of separation of church and state, that gave them welcome – if it’s an atheistic regime, then how come that in the first chapter of Mein Kampf, that Hitler says that he’s doing God’s work and executing God’s will in destroying the Jewish people? How come the fuhrer oath that every officer of the Party and the Army had to take, making Hitler into a minor god, begins, “I swear in the name of almighty God, my loyalty to the Fuhrer?” How come that on the belt buckle of every Nazi soldier it says Gott mit uns, God on our side? How come that the first treaty made by the Nationalist Socialist dictatorship, the very first is with the Vatican? It’s exchanging political control of Germany for Catholic control of German education. How come that the church has celebrated the birthday of the Fuhrer every year, on that day until democracy put an end to this filthy, quasi-religious, superstitious, barbarous, reactionary system? Again, this is not a difference of emphasis between us. To suggest that there’s something fascistic about me and about my beliefs is something I won't hear said and you shouldn't believe.

The Strong Man is Mightiest Alone.

Industry, technology, and commerce can thrive only as long as an idealistic national community offers the necessary preconditions. And these do not lie in material egoism, but in a spirit of sacrifice and joyful renunciation.

There is a better chance of seeing a camel pass through the eye of a needle than of seeing a really great man 'discovered' through an election.

While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It doesn't even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organisation for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks. It is a sign of their rising confidence and sense of security that at a time when one section is still playing the German, French-man, or Englishman, the other with open effrontery comes out as the Jewish race.

There are certain truths which stand out so openly on the roadsides of life, as it were, that every passer-by may see them. Yet, because of their obviousness, the general run of people disregard such truths or at least they do not make them the object of any concious knowledge. People are so bliend to some of the simplest facts in everyday life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls attention to what everybody ought to know.

The application of force alone, without 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 to 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.

أليس من العار أن تترك مقدرات أمّة تحت رحمة مواطنين يتصرفون بهذه المقدرات بخفّة و مجون كما لو كانوا يلعبون الورق ..

It is the press, above all, which wages a positively fanatical and slanderous struggle, tearing down everything which can be regarded as a support of national independence, cultural elevation, and the economic independence of the nation.

قد إكتشفت مع الأيام أن ما من فعل مغاير للأخلاق , وما من جريمة بحق المجتمع إلا و لليهود فيها يد

في بضعة أيام يمكن الصحف أن تجعل من حادث تافه بحد ذاته قضية خطيرة تهز الدولة، ويمكنها كذلك أن تسدل ستار النسيان علي القضايا الحيوية فلا يلبث الجمهور لأن ينساها.

It is more difficult to undermine faith than knowledge, love succumbs to change less than to respect, hatred is more durable than aversion, and at all times the driving force of the most important changes in this world has been found less in a scientific knowledge animating the masses, but rather in a fanaticism dominating them and in a hysteria which drove them forward.

Ich las damals unendlich viel und zwar gründlich. In wenigen Jahren schuf ich mir damit die Grundlagen eines Wissens, von denen ich auch heute noch zehre.

إن حق الإنسان يتقدم علي حق الدولة.

I am firmly convinced to-day that, generally speaking, it is in youth that men lay the essential groundwork of their creative thought, wherever that creative thought exists. I make a distinction between the wisdom of age- which can only arise from the greater profundity and foresight that are based on the experiences of a long life- and the creative genius of youth, which blossoms out in thoughts and ideas with inexhaustible fertility, without being able to put these into practice immediately, because of their very superabundance. These furnish the building materials and plans for the future; and it is from them that age takes the stones and builds the edifice, unless the so-called wisdom of the years may have smothered the creative genius of youth.

A sound and energetic mind is only found in a sound and energetic body.

To study history means to search for and discover the forces that are the causes of those results which appear before our eyes as historical events. The art of reading and studying consists in remembering the essentials and forgetting what is inessential.

A man who possesses the art of correct reading will … instinctively and immediately perceive everything which in his opinion is worth permanently remembering, either because it is suited to his purpose or generally worth knowing … The art of reading, as of learning, is this: … to retain the essential, to forget the nonessential.

The average person has the most fear of death and in reality thinks most rarely about it. The most prominent one occupies himself with it most persistently, but nevertheless fears it the least. The one lives blindly day to day, sinning away, only to sink down before the grim reaper. The other carefully observes his approach but then looks him in the eye, calm and composed.

إن أنصار فكرة ما متي اقتنعوا بصحتها وتجندوا للدفاع عنها يمشون إلي منازلة الخصوم موقنين بالنصر، ولا يزيدهم الاضطهاد إلا استبسالاً في الكفاح.

From early youth I endeavored to read books in the right way and I was fortunate in having a good memory and intelligence to assist me.

Who cares whether they laugh at us or insult us, treating us as fools or criminals?” Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf. “The point is that they talk about us and constantly think about us.

Why could I not have been born a hundred years ago? I used to ask myself. Somewhere about the time of the Wars of Liberation, when a man was still of some value even though he had no ‘business.

Generally, readers of the Press can be classified into three groups: First, those who believe everything they read; Second, those who no longer believe anything; Third, those who critically examine what they read and form their judgments accordingly.

Any philosophy, whether of a religious or political nature - and sometimes the dividing line is hard to determine - fights less for the negative destruction of the opposing ideology than for the positive promotion of its own. Hence its struggle is less defensive than offensive. It therefore has the advantage even in determining the goal, since this goal represents the victory of its own idea, while, conversely,it is hard to determine when the negative aim of the destruction of a hostile doctrine may be regarded as achieved and assured. For this reason alone, the philosophy's offensive will be more systematic and also more powerful than the defensive against a philosophy, since here, too, as always, the attack and not the defence makes the decision. The fight against a spiritual power with methods of violence remains defensive, however, until the sword becomes the support,the herald and disseminator, of a new spiritual doctrine.

As opposed to this, we National Socialists must hold unflinchingly to our aim in foreign policy, namely, to secure for the German people the land and soil to which they are entitled on this earth. And this action is the only one which, before God and our German posterity, would make any sacrifice of blood seem justified.

الشرط الأول لنجاح القوة في مكافحة دعوة من الدعوات أو عقيدة من العقائد هو المواظبة على محاربة الدعوة أو العقيدة دون ما هوادة أو تراخ. أما إذا عقب كل اضطهاد فترة من التسامح، فالعقيدة المضطهدة لا تلبث أن تسترد قواها و قد يشتد ساعدها بالجدد من أنصارها.

If the race is in danger of being oppressed or even exterminated the question of legality is only of secondary importance. The established power may in such a case employ only those means which are recognized as 'legal'. yet the instinct of self-preservation on the part of the oppressed will always justify, to the highest degree, the employment of all possible resources.

Although eugenics flourished in Nazi Germany, the ideal of a blond-haired, blue-eyed master race wasn’t Adolf Hitler’s. It may surprise many to know that, in Mein Kampf, Hitler credited America with helping formulate his ideas on eugenics, and he admitted he’d studied the laws of US states to familiarize himself with selective reproduction and other eugenics issues.

إن كل فكرة شقت طريقها عبر التاريخ لتخلد هي وتخلد صاحبها قد أسئ فهمها لذا طرحت في التداول وحوربت محاربة لا هوادة فيها، لأنها جاءت متعارضة والآراء السائدة، مخالفة لوجهة نظر الجمهور ولرغباته.

Does anybody honestly believe that human progress originates in the composite brain of the majority and not in the brain of the individual personality? Or may it be presumed that for the future human civilization will be able to dispense with this as a condition of its existence? But may it not be that, to-day, more than ever before, the creative brain of the individual is indispensable?

For by the word upstart I mean everyone who has raised himself through his own efforts to a social level higher than that to which he formerly belonged. In the case of such a person the hard struggle through which he passes often destroys his normal human sympathy. His own fight for existence kills his sensibility for the misery of those who have been left behind.

One thing is clear: One cannot understand the Nazi vocabulary adequately if one only looks at Germany. What is the “blood disgrace” of which ‘Mein Kampf’ warns – as we have seen – if not the “miscegenation” that is condemned also by the proponents of ‘White Supremacy’? Even the key term of Nazi-ideology ‘subhuman [Untermensch]’ is a translation of the American ‘Under Man’!

Hitler reveled in his unique creation. “A symbol it really is!” he exclaims in Mein Kampf. “In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalist idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man.

إن العقائد و المباديء المرتكزة على فلسفة معينة و مثلها الحركات ذات الدافع الروحي تصبح بعد بلوغها مرحلة معينة أمنع من أن يُقضى عليها بالقوة المادية اللهم إلا في حالة واحدة هي أن تكون هذه الثوة المادية في خدمة فكرة أو عقيدة فلسفية جديدة تلوح للناس بمشعل جديد.

و لكسب النصر النهائي يجب على الحزب أن يوجد قيادة عليا حكيمة بعيدة النظر , و رجالاً تسيرهم العاطفة و يخضعون لهذه القيادة خضوعاً أعمى . فالسرية التي تضم مئتي رجل كلهم أذكياء وأكفّاء هي أصعب قيادة من سرية تضم مئة و تسعين رجلاً عادياً و عشرة رجال أذكياء يمسكون زمام القيادة

If you cannot recognize the signs of Hitlerian Power, if you do not know how to counter their efforts, if you remain confused and uncertain as your opponent makes his moves, step by step with decisiveness and intention, and your inaction allows him to come closer to power, then you have already lost and they have won, for they know the rules of the game and you do not.

Much of what is going on and will go on could be learned by the outside world from Mein Kampf, the Bible and Koran together of the Third Reich. But—amazingly—there is no decent translation of it in English or French, and Hitler will not allow one to be made, which is understandable, for it would shock many in the West. How many visiting butter-and-egg men have I told that the Nazi goal is domination! They laughed.

Bir husus vardır ki, bunu hatırdan çıkarmamak ve göz önünde tutmak gerekir. Çoğunluk hiçbir zaman bir kişinin yerine geçerli olamaz. Çoğunluk, ahmakları olduğu kadar alçakları da temsil eder. Saman dolu yüz kafa nasıl ki, hiçbir zaman bir akıllı kişiye eşit olamazsa, yüz korkak adamdan da hiçbir vakit kahramanca bir karar beklenemez.

Wenn Menschenherzen brechen und Menschenseelen verzweifeln, dann blicken aus dem Dämmerlicht der Vergangenheit die großen Überwinder von Not und Sorge, von Schmach und Elend, von geistiger Unfreiheit und körperlichem Zwange auf sie hernieder und reichen den verzagenden Sterblichen ihre ewigen Hände! Wehe dem Volke, das sich schämt, sie zu erfassen!

Few teachers realize that the purpose of teaching history is not the memorizing of some dates and facts, that the student is not interested in knowing the exact date of a battle or the birthday of some marshal or other, and not at all—or at least only very insignificantly—interested in knowing when the crown of his fathers was placed on the brow of some monarch. These are certainly not looked upon as important matters. To study history means to search for and discover the forces that are the causes of those results which appear before our eyes as

The great protagonists are those who fight for their ideas and ideals despite the fact that they receive no recognition at the hands of their contemporaries. They are the men whose memories will be enshrined in the hearts of the future generations. It seems then as if each individual felt it his duty to make retroactive atonement for the wrong which great men have suffered at the hands of their contemporaries. Their lives and their work are then studied with touching and grateful admiration. Especially in dark days of distress, such men have the power of healing broken hearts and elevating the despairing spirit of a people.

They refused to sing non-German songs. The greater the efforts made to win them away from their German allegiance, the more they exalted the glory of their German heroes. They stinted themselves in buying things to eat, so that they might spare their pennies to help the war chest of their elders. They were incredibly alert in the significance of what the non-German teachers said and they contradicted in unison. They wore the forbidden emblems of their own kinsfolk and were happy when penalized for doing so, or even physically punished. In miniature they were mirrors of loyalty from which the older people might learn a lesson.

Right-to-work laws were originally advanced in language that mirrored precisely Hitler’s attacks on trade unions in Mein Kampf. Nevertheless, their antiunion agenda, explicitly founded upon a desire to maintain white racial hierarchy and prevent solidarity across races and religions, has largely won the day in the United States today. Such antiunion policies paved the way for a presidential candidate running a white nationalist campaign with open nostalgia for the 1930s to sweep to victory across the once proud labor states of the Midwest.

This was not the first time that the world didn’t listen. In college I read Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Fourteen years before the first shot was fired, Hitler announced his plan to destroy the parliamentary system in Germany, to attack France and Eastern Europe, and to eliminate the Jews. Why, I asked the professor, did neither ordinary Germans voting in the Reichstag elections in July 1932, nor foreign leaders reacting to the rise of Nazism, believe him? Why was anyone surprised when he simply did what he said he would do? She had no answer. The fall of my senior year at Princeton, nineteen deeply religious young men flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. During the decade before 9/11, Osama Bin Laden had shouted out his warnings of mass murder using all the means of modern communication. And still we were surprised when he did what he said he would do. So I suppose what happened here is that they said what they would do, and we did not listen. Then they did what they said they would do.

To combat socialism Bismarck put through between 1883 and 1889 a program for social security far beyond anything known in other countries. It included compulsory insurance for workers against old age, sickness, accident and incapacity, and though organized by the State it was financed by employers and employees. It cannot be said that it stopped the rise of the Social Democrats or the trade unions, but it did have a profound influence on the working class in that it gradually made them value security over political freedom and caused them to see in the State, however conservative, a benefactor and a protector. Hitler, as we shall see, took full advantage of this state of mind. In this, as in other matters, he learned much from Bismarck. “I studied Bismarck’s socialist legislation,” Hitler remarks in Mein Kampf (p. 155), “in its intention, struggle and success.

The man who has lost his instincts and does not recognize the obligation Nature has given him cannot hope for any corrective action on Nature’s part until he restores his lost instincts by clear intellectual awareness. Once he understands, then he must face the task of making the necessary amends by bringing back what was lost. There is a great danger that once a man no longer sees his duty clearly, he will continue to tear down the racial barriers until the last remaining shred of his best part is finally lost. Then there would be nothing left but a uniform racial mush, which appears to be the ideal sought by our “wonderful world-reformers” today. However this puree mix would soon drive all ideals from the world. True, a group of great size might be formed in that way because a herd animal can be unnaturally combined, but no such mixture can ever produce a man who can carry a culture or a man who can be a cultural founder and creator. The mission of mankind could then be considered at an end. Anyone who does not want the earth to approach that condition must accept that it is the task, especially of the German State, to be sure, above everything, that all further bastardization is stopped.

Young man, I applaud your courage and your sincerity, but I'm afraid you need to learn a few lessons in political reality. It is simply impossible to expect the peoples of Britain and France to take up arms to deny the right of self-determination to ethnic Germans who are trapped in a foreign country they wish to leave. Against that single reality, all else fails. As for what Hitler dreams of doing in the next five years - well, we shall have to wait and see. He's been making these threats ever since Mein Kampf. My objective is clear: to avert war in the short term, and then to try to build a lasting peace for the future - one month at a time, one day at a time, if needs be. The worst act I can possibly commit for the future of mankind would be to walk away from this conference tonight.

O günlerde Yahudileri inançlarının manasızlığı hakkında aydınlatmaya çalışacak kadar aptallık ediyordum. Dar çevremde boğazım kuruyana ve dilimde tüy bitene kadar konuşup duruyordum. Onlara Marksizm'in tehlikesini gösterebileceğimi sanıyordum. Fakat ters sonuçlar alıyordum. Çünkü Sosyal Demokratların gerek nazari ve gerek tatbikatta açık olarak elde ettikleri bu başarılar onların çalışma azimlerini kuvvetlendirmekten başka bir şeye yaramıyordu. Ancak bu heriflerle ne kadar çok münakaşa edersem, üslûplarını o kadar iyi anlayabiliyordum. Bunlar her şeyden önce, kendilerine karşı olanların akılsızlıklarına güveniyorlardı. Eğer münakaşa sırasında bir başka kaçamak yol bulamazlarsa o vakit kendilerine budala süsü veriyorlardı. Eğer bu da başarılı olmazsa, o zaman hiçbir şey anlamıyormuş gibi davranıyorlardı. Bu durum karşısında biraz sıkıştırılırlarsa, o zaman da başka bir konuya geçiyorlardı. Bir sürü manasız laflar ediyorlar, eğer itiraz edilmezse, bunlardan başka konular için deliller çıkarıyorlardı.   Üstlerine daha fazla gidilecek olursa, avucunuzdan kayıp kaçıyorlar ve artık hiçbir şeye cevap vermez oluyorlardı. Kurtarıcı gibi etrafta dolaşan bu heriflerin birini yakaladığınızda sanki elinizde yapışkan ve cıvık bir madde tutmuş gibi oluyor ve insana tiksinti veren bu madde parmaklarınızın arasından kayıp gittikten sonra, başka bir yerde tekrar toplanıp şekilleniyordu, içlerinden bir ikisine fikirlerinizi kabul etmekten başka bir çare bırakmayacak şekilde kesin bir darbe indirdiğinizde, ilerisi için bir ümit beliriyordu. Fakat aradan bir gün geçtikten sonra hayretler içinde kalıyordunuz. Yahudi yirmi dört saat önce olanları hiç hatırlamıyor ve başlangıçta olduğu gibi yine boş laflar edip duruyordu. Sanki aramızda hiçbir şey geçmemiş gibi davranıyordu. Eğer buna kızacak olur da kendisine izahat vermeye kalkarsanız, şaşırmış gibi yapıyor ve kesinlikle bir şey hatırlamadığını söylüyordu. Yalnız bir şey hatırlamadığını söylemekle kalsa yine iyi... Bir gün evvel iddialarının doğruluğunu ispat etmiş olduğunu da ilave ediyordu.
