Peaceful Belligerence

"there lies no threat against the rest of the world. We desire peace perhaps more than all others, since we need it in order to create bread for the millions of our unemployed fellow-countrymen. But peace will always be given only to him who is worthy of peace. And only that people is worthy which maintains a consciousness of the necessity for honour and freedom."
 -- Adolf H. (from speech in Kiel, May 1933)

Romanticizing Self-Sacrifice

   "What the man gives in courage on the battlefield, the woman gives in eternal self-sacrifice, in eternal pain and suffering. Every child that a woman brings into the world is a battle, a battle waged for the existence of her people"
-- AH; from Speech to the NS Frauenschaft (September 8, 1934) 

Germany First

"People complain of a shortage of this and that - for instance, of a shortage of cotton. I say that in the next four years we shall produce our own German cloth. Others raise the question of rubber. I tell you that factories will spring from the earth and that in four years we shall ride on our own German rubber tires. It may then be asked, 'With what motive power will you drive you cars?' I say that we shall take gasoline from our own oil and coal."
-- AH; from speech to Nuremburg Labor Front (Sept. 12, 1936)

Bad-faith pandering to individualism

 "How can Communism be thought possible in the most individualistic country in the world? It is only possible where every man is a number, not in Italy where every man is an individual, and more, has individuality."
-- Benito Mussolini; from 'The Fascista'

Spurious Pretext for Invasion

 "Our cause in Ethiopia is a just one. In a few days it will be laid before the League's counsel. It will be laid before the whole world—proof that the Ethiopians are a barbaric people, sunk in the practice of slavery"

 -- Benito Mussolini; from interview with London Daily Mail (Aug 26, 1935)

Attacking a Peaceful Neighbor

"My pact with the Poles was merely conceived of as a gaining of time."
-- Adolf Hitler; from The Obersalzberg Speech (Aug. 22, 1939)

Nationalism

"Why should we need to socialize the banks and factories? We are socializing the people."

-- Adolf Hitler; to Hermann Rauschning (1939)
