The purest
idealism is unconsciously equivalent to the deepest knowledge.
Adolf Hitler
How necessary
it is to keep realizing that idealism does not represent a
superfluous
expression of sentiment, but that in truth it has been, is, and always will be
the premise for what we call human culture—yes, that it alone created the
concept, ‘man.’ It is to this inner attitude that the Aryan owes his position
in the world, and to it the world owes man. For it alone formed from pure
spirit the creative force which, by a unique pairing of the brutal fist and
intellectual genius, created the monuments of human culture.
Adolf
Hitler
The Aryan is
greatest not in his mental qualities as such, but in the extent of his willingness
to put all his abilities in the service of the community. In him the
instinct for
self-preservation has reached its noblest form, since he willingly
subordinates
his own ego to the life of the greater whole and, if the hour
demands, even
sacrifices it.
Adolf
Hitler
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.
Adolf
Hitler
In giving
one’s own life for the existence of the community lies the crown of
all sense of
sacrifice. It is this alone that prevents what human hands have built from
being overthrown by human hands or destroyed by Nature.
Adolf
Hitler
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.
Adolf
Hitler
Indeed, we may
therefore state that not only does man live in order to serve
higher ideals,
but that conversely these higher ideals also provide the premise
for his
existence as a person.
Adolf
Hitler
