Benito Mussolini quotes about
War is to man what maternity is to a woman
Democratic regimes may be defined as those in which, every now and then, the people are given the illusion of being sovereign, while the true sovereignty in actual fact resides in other forces which are sometimes irresponsible and secret.
The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others; it makes its action felt throughout the length and breadth of the country by means of its corporate, social, and educational institutions, and all the political, economic, and spiritual forces of the nation, organised in their respective associations, circulate within the State.
The Government has been compelled to levy taxes which unavoidably hit large sections of the population. The Italian people are disciplined, silent and calm, they work and know that there is a Government which governs, and know, above all, that if this Government hits cruelly certain sections of the Italian people, it does not so out of caprice, but from the supreme necessity of national order.
There is no revolution that can change the nature of man
There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves; there is a violence that is moral and a violence that is immoral.
A nation of spaghetti eaters cannot restore Roman civilization!
I want to make my own life a masterpiece.
Blood alone literally moves the wheels of history.
I should be pleased, I suppose, that Hitler has carried out a revolution on our lines. But they are Germans. So they will end by ruining our idea.
One moment on the battlefield is worth a thousand years of peace.
The history of saints is mainly the history of insane people.
People are tired of liberty. They have had a surfeit of it. Liberty is no longer a chaste and austere virgin.... Today's youth are moved by other slogans...Order, Hierarchy, Discipline.
Peace is absurd: Fascism does not believe in it.
