“We cannot overstate our debt to the Past, but the moment has the supreme claim.”

“First our pleasures die — and then
Our hopes, and then our fears — and when
These are dead, the debt is due,
Dust claims dust — and we die too.”

“Our hour is marked, and no one can claim a moment of life beyond what fate has predestined.”

“Human has always striven to retain the past, to keep it convincing; there's nothing wicked in that. Without it we have no continuity; we have only the moment. And, deprived of the past, the moment - the present - has little meaning, if any.”

“The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.”

“We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.”

“Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.”

“Our minds must be capable of concentrating and living in the present moment, rather than always seeking for the past events that cannot be proven to be true.”

“The past has no power over the present moment.”

“We National Socialists have monopolized all resources and all our energies during the past seven years so as to be able to be equipped for the supreme effort of battle.”
