A Quote from Mussolini's First Speech as Prime Minister

Mussolini, in a much later image.

"The Italian Fatherland has found herself again, from the north to the south, from the mainland to those generous islands which shall no more be forgotten, from the metropolis of Rome to the industrious colonies of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Gentlemen, do not throw useless words at the Nation; fifty-two requests to speak on my lists is too much. Let us work, rather, with pure hearts and ready minds to assure the prosperity and the greatness of the Fatherland."

- From Mussolini's first speech to the Cabinet, 16 Nov. 1922

Remark from Codreanu on the Decline of Romania

"Romania is dying because of a lack of men, not a lack of programs."

- Corneliu Codreanu, "For My Legionaries"

Remark from Henry Channon on Franco's Victory

"Franco advances - victory is clearly his. He has been so misunderstood, so misrepresented in this country that to champion him, and I have done, is dangerous from a Constituency point of view."

- Henry Channon, British politician, March 1938

 

Remark from Ferenc Szálasi on the Enemy Within

"The enemy within are always more cruel, more vicious, more hateful and more bloodthirsty than an outside enemy. The enemy within is not open about its intentions and hides it real face using religion, nationalism, friendship, patriotism, just to reach its goals. The outer enemy is always open about its intentions." 

- Ferenc Szálasi, leader of the Arrow Cross of Hungary
