It is our will that this state shall endure for a thousand years. We are happy to know that the future is ours entirely!
We want this people to be hard, not soft, and you must steel yourselves for it in your youth!
Our party remains as firm as this rock and will not be divided by any force in Germany.
When our party had only seven men, it already had two principles. First, it wanted to be a party with a true ideology. And second, it wanted to be the one and only power in Germany.
All upright Germans will be National Socialists, but only the best National Socialists will be party members!
It is not the State that orders us; but it is we who order the State!
': No revolution could last forever without leading to total anarchy. Just as the world cannot exist on wars, so they cannot exist on revolutions. Nothing truly great on this earth has ruled for millennia and was forged in decades. The tallest tree has the strongest growth behind it. What must withstand centuries must also need centuries for it to become strong!
It is our unshakable belief in ourselves, it is our hope for today's valued youth, who courageously are charging forward and will one day be called upon to continue the efforts begun in the stormy years of the 1918 Revolution, an event which has gripped all of Germany and the historical importance of which is already being embodied today by the entire German Reich.
Truth is the basis on which the power of the press stands and falls. Our only demand of the foreign press and our own press, is that they report the truth about Germany.
