The instinct
to preserve one’s own kind is the first cause for the formation of
human
communities . . .

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.
Adolf
Hitler
Social
activity must never and on no account see its task in inane welfare
schemes, as
ridiculous as they are useless, but rather in the elimination of basic
deficiencies
in the organization of our economic and cultural life that must—or
in any event
can—lead to the debasement of the individual.
Adolf
Hitler
Social
endeavor . . . can raise no claim whatsoever to gratitude, since its
function
is not to dispense favors but to restore rights
Adolf Hitler
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.
Adolf
Hitler
. . . 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.
Adolf
Hitler
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.
Adolf
Hitler
. . . Honest
work, no matter of what kind, is never a disgrace.
Adolf
Hitler
The dedication
of every National Socialist is demonstrated first of all by his
readiness to
work and by his diligence and ability in accomplishing the work
entrusted to
him by the racial community.
Adolf Hitler
