| Ultimate wisdom always consists in understanding the instinctive causes—that
is: a man must never fall into the madness of believing that he has really
risen to be lord and master over Nature—which is so easily induced
by the conceit of half-education—but must understand the fundamental
necessity of Nature’s rule, and realize how much his existence is
subject to these laws of eternal combat and upward struggle. Then he will
sense that in a universe where planets revolve around suns, and moons
turn about planets, where force alone forever masters weakness, compelling
it to be an obedient servant or else crushing it, there can be no special
laws for man. For him, too, the eternal principles of this ultimate wisdom
hold sway. He can try to grasp them; but escape them, never. |
| When man tries to rebel against the iron logic of Nature, he comes into conflict with principles to which he himself owes his existence as man. And so his action against Nature must lead to his own downfall. |
| This planet once moved through space for millions of years without human beings, and it can do so again some day if men forget that they owe their higher existence, not to the ideas of a few crazy ideologues, but to the knowledge and ruthless application of Nature’s iron-clad laws. |
| Thus the racialist world view corresponds to the innermost will of Nature, since it restores that free play of forces which must lead to a continuous mutual higher breeding, until at last the best of mankind—having achieved possession of this Earth—will have a free path for activity in domains which lie partly above and partly outside it. |
| The Jewish doctrine of Marxism rejects the aristocratic principle of Nature and replaces the eternal privilege of power and strength with the mass of numbers and their dead weight. Thus it denies personal worth, contests the significance of folk and race, and thereby withdraws from mankind premise for its existence and culture. As a foundation of the universe, it would lead to the end of any order intellectually conceivable to man. . . .If, with the help of his Marxist creed, the jew is victorious over the peoples of the world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of mankind and this planet will—as it once did for millions of years—move through the ether devoid of men. |
| By rejecting personal authority and replacing it with the numbers of a momentary mob, the parliamentary principle of majority rule sins against the basic aristocratic idea of Nature |
|
| Today’s Western democracy is the forerunner of Marxism, which without it would be unthinkable. It provides this world plague with the culture in which its germs can spread. |
| Sooner will a camel pass through the eye of a needle than a great man be ‘discovered’ by an election. |
| The question of instilling national pride in a people is, among other things, primarily a question of creating healthy social conditions as a basis for the possibility of educating the individual. For only those who through school and upbringing learn to know the cultural, economic, but above all the political greatness of their own fatherland can and will acquire inner pride in the privilege of belonging to such a people. |
| As soon as egoism becomes the ruler of a people, the bands of order are loosened and in the pursuit of their own happiness men fall from heaven into a real hell. |
| 'Respect everyone's country, but love your own.' |
| Thus, the highest purpose of the racial state is concern for the preservation of those original racial elements which bestow culture and create the beauty and dignity of a higher humanity. We, as Aryans, can conceive of the state only as the living organism of a people, which not only assures the preservation of this people, but by the development of its spiritual and ideal abilities leads it to the highest freedom. |
| For in the long run systems of government are not maintained by the pressure of force, but by faith in their soundness and in the truthfulness with which they represent and advance the interests of a people. |
|
| All occurrences in world history are merely an expression of the racial instinct for self-preservation, in a good or bad sense. |
| The inner nature of peoples always determines the way in which outward influences will have an effect. What leads one to starvation will train others for hard work. |
| The racialist world view finds the importance of mankind in its basic racial elements. On principle it views the state as but a means to an end and conceives that end to be the racial existence of man. Thus, by no means does it believe in the equality of the races, but along with their difference it recognizes their higher and lesser value and feels itself obligated, through this knowledge, to promote the victory of the better and stronger, and demand the subordination of the inferior and weaker in accordance with the eternal Will that dominates this universe. Thus, on principle, it embraces the basic aristocratic idea of Nature and believes in the validity of this law down to the last individual. . . . It believes in the necessity of an idealization of mankind, which in turn it sees the sole premise for the existence of mankind. But it cannot grant the right to existence even to an ethical idea if this idea represents a danger for the racial life of the bearers of a higher ethic; for in a bastardized and negrified world all concepts of the humanly beautiful and sublime, as well as all ideas of an idealized future for mankind, would be lost forever. |
| Sin against the blood and against the race is the original sin in this world and the end of a humanity which surrenders to it. |
| No, there is only one holiest human right, and this right is at the same time the holiest obligation, namely: to make sure that the blood is kept pure and, by preserving the best humanity, to create the possibility of a nobler development of these beings. |
| A racial state must therefore begin by raising marriage from the level of a continuous defilement of the race, and give it the consecration of an institution which is called upon to produce images of the Lord and not monstrosities halfway between man and ape. |
| For the will of God gave men their form, their being and their abilities. He who destroys His work declares war upon the creation of the Lord and upon the divine Will. |
| The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is represented by the Jew. |
| Existence impels the Jew to lie, and to lie perpetually, just as it compels the inhabitants of northern lands to wear warm clothing. |
| Was there any form of filth or shamelessness, particularly in cultual life, without at least one Jew involved in it? If you cut even cautiously into such an abcess, you found—like a maggot in a rotting body often dazzled by the sudden light—a little Jew. |
|
| Indeed, the possibility of preserving a healthy farming community as a foundation for the whole nation can never be valued highly enough. Many of our present-day woes are simply the result of an unhealthy relationship between our rural and city population. A solid stock of small and moderate-size farmers has at all times been the best defense against social ills such as we possess today. |
| Social endeavor . . . can raise no claim whatsoever to gratitude, since its function is not to dispense favors but to restore rights. |
| The racial state will have to arrive at a basically different attitude toward the concept of work. It will if necessary—even by education extending over centuries—have to break with the nonsense of despising physical activity. On principle it will have to evaluate the individual man not by the kind of work he does, but by the form and quality of his achievement. |
| The evaluation of a man must be based on the manner in which he fulfills the task entrusted to him by the community. For the activity which an individual performs is not the purpose of his existence, but merely a means towards it. It is more important that he develop and ennoble himself as a man; but this he can only do within the framework of his cultural community, which must always rest upon the foundation of a state. He must make his contribution to the preservation of this foundation. The form of this contribution is determined by Nature; his duty is simply to return to the racial community with honest effort what it has given him. He who does this deserves the highest esteem and the highest respect. |
| Honest work, no matter of what kind, is never a disgrace. |
| Without his idealistic attitude all, even the most brilliant faculties of the mind, would remain mere intellect as such—outward appearance without inner worth, and never creative force. But since true idealism is nothing more than the subordination of the interests and life of the individual to the greater whole—and in turn is the precondition for the creation of organizational forms of all kinds—it corresponds in its innermost depths to the ultimate will of Nature. It alone leads men to a voluntary recognition of the privilege of force and strength, and thus makes them particles of that Order which shapes and forms the entire universe. |
| We are not simple enough, either, to believe that it could ever be possible to bring about a perfect era. But this does not relieve anyone of the obligation to combat recognized errors, to overcome weaknesses, and to strive for the ideal. |
| A state which in this age of racial contamination dedicates itself to the care of its best racial elements must one day become master of the Earth. May the adherents of our Movement never forget this if ever the magnitude of the sacrifices should beguile them into anxious comparison with the possible results. |
"The national State divides its inhabitants into three classes: State citizens, State subjects, and foreigners. It must be held in greater honour to be a citizen of this Reich even if only a crossing-sweeper, than to be a king in a foreign State." |
| Every man must know that the new Movement can offer honor and fame in the eyes of posterity, but nothing in the present. |
| A movement that wants to renew the world must serve, not the moment, but the future. |
| The best state constitution and state form is that which, with most genuine certainty, raises the best minds of a racial community to leading importance and leading influence. |
| And no more than a hundred empty heads make one wise man will a heroic decision arise from a hundred cowards. |
|
| The racial question gives the key not only to world history, but to
all human culture as well. |
| Everything we admire on this Earth today—science and art, technology and invention—is solely the creative product of a few peoples, and perhaps originally, of one race. On them depends the existence of this entire culture. If they perish, the beauty of this Earth will sink into the grave with them. |
| If we were to divide mankind into three groups—culture founders, culture bearers and culture destroyers—only the Aryan could be considered as representative of the first group. |
|
| A man of little academic education but physically sound, with good, strong character and imbued with joyful determination and will-power, is worth more to the racial community than a clever weakling. |
|
|
| In the long run a sound mind can only dwell in a sound body |
|
| I have already attempted to make it quite clear that the special treatment meted out to Jews in Germany is inspired solely by racial and not by religious motives. The Jews enjoy full liberty in the exercise of the ritual." |
| It may be that today gold has become the exclusive ruler of life, but the time will come when man will again bow down before a higher God. |
|
| Aside from this, it is the task of the racial state to see to it that world history is finally written from a position in which the racial question is raised to dominance. |
| Those who want to live, let them fight; and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live. |
| World history is made by minorities when this minority of number embodies a majority of will and determination. |
| No one can doubt that this world will one day be exposed to the severest struggles for the existence of mankind. In the end, only the urge for self-preservation will triumph. Beneath it so-called humanity—that expression of a mixture of stupidity, cowardice and know-it-all conceit—will melt like snow in the March sun. Mankind has grown great in eternal struggle, and only in eternal peace will it perish. |
|
| If, by the instrument of governmental power, a people is being led toward its destruction, then rebellion is not only the right of every member of such a people—it is his duty. |
| The racialist philosophy is basically distinguished from the Marxist philosophy by the fact that it not only recognizes the value of race, but along with it the importance of personality, which it therefore makes one of the pillars of its entire structure. |
| The Movement must promote respect for personality by every means. It must never forget that in personal worth lies the worth of everything human; that every idea and every achievement is the result of one man’s creative force, and that the admiration of greatness constitutes not only a tribute of thanks to the latter, but also casts a unifying bond around the grateful. |
| Thus, in principle, it embraces the basic principle of Nature and believes in the validity of this law down to the last individual. It sees not only the different value of races, but also the different value of individual men. From the mass it extracts the importance of the person, and thus, in contrast to Marxism with its disorganizing effect, it acts in an organizing way. |
| It is not the mass that invents and not the majority that organizes or thinks, but in all things only and always the individual man, the person. |
| To renounce doing homage to a great spirit means the loss of an immense strength which emanates from the names of all great men and women. |
| When human hearts break and human souls despair, then from the twilight of the past the great conquerors of distress and care, of disgrace and misery, of spiritual bondage and physical constraint, look down upon them and hold out their eternal hands to despairing mortals. Woe to the people that is ashamed to grasp them. |
|
| Obstacles do not exist to be surrendered to, but rather to be broken. |
| He who first demands of Fate a guarantee of success, automatically renounces all idea of a heroic deed. |
| It can be established here that the greatest and most enduring successes in history tend, for the most part, to be those which in their beginnings found the least understanding because they stood in sharpest conflict with general public opinion, with its ideas and its will. |
| We National Socialists, as champions of a new philosophy of life, must never base ourselves on so-called ‘accepted facts’—and false ones at that. If we did, we would not be the champions of a great, new idea, but coolies of the present-day lie. |
| All the persecutions of the Movement and its individual leaders, all vilifications and slanders, were powerless to harm it. The correctness of its ideas, the purity of its will, its supporters’ spirit of self-sacrifice, have caused it to issue from all repressions stronger than ever. If, in the world of our present parliamentary corruption, it becomes more and more aware of the profoundest essence of its struggle, feels itself to be the purest embodiment of the value of race and personality and conducts itself accordingly, it will—with almost mathematical certainty—one day emerge victorious from its struggle. |
