Some interesting quotes from an interesting man.

Perhaps tRump has been doing some reading after all. His inauguration speech sure sounded like it.

“You will never learn what I am thinking. And those who boast most loudly that they know my thought, to such people I lie even more.”

“We want people to be peace-loving but also courageous, and you must therefore be peace-loving and at the same time courageous. We do not want this people to grow soft, but we want it to be hard so that it will be able to withstand the hardships of life.”

“It would be easier for the Devil to go to church and cross himself with holy water than for these people to comprehend the ideas which are accepted facts to us today.”

“The conception of the new Movement, whose fundamentals can be expressed in a single sentence: "The Lord helps those who help themselves," opposed this. That is not only a very pious phrase, but a very just one. For one cannot assume that God exists to help people who are too cowardly and too lazy to help themselves and think that God exists only to make up for the weakness of mankind. He does not exist for that purpose. He has always, at all times, blessed only those who were prepared to fight their own battles.”

“In vowing ourselves to one another, we are entitled to stand before the Almighty and ask Him for His grace and His blessing. No people can do more than that everybody who can fight, fights, and that everybody who can work, works, and that they all sacrifice in common, filled with but one thought: to safeguard freedom and national honor and thus the future of life.”
“I have not come into this world to make men better, but to make use of their weaknesses.”

“We have to put a stop to the idea that it is a part of everybody's civil rights to say whatever he pleases.”
