“From education by the Church to education by Germanic value is a step of several generations. We are the transition from one education to the other. We are the conquerors of one era and the founders of a new - also religious - epoch. We bear a heavy and therefore a great destiny. To destroy images is something every revolution has been able to do. But to establish its cause upon nothing and yet not to burn all bridges behind it: that is the nobility of character of the National Socialist era. The German people is not marked by original sin, but by original nobility. The place of Christian love has been taken by the National Socialist, Germanic idea of comradeship…which has already been symbolically expressed through the replacement of the rosary by the spade of labour.”

Quoted in Chapter 13, Part 3 of "The Face Of The Third Reich" by Joachim C. Fest.

The difference between one man and another, apart from birth and social position, consists in the extent of knowledge, general and practical, acquired by him.

A civilised nation is distinguished from an uncivilised one by the extent of its acquired intelligence and skill.”
