• President Paul von Hindenburg : If I appoint you Chancellor, how will I answer to God?

  Adolf Hitler : How will you answer to Germany if you don't?

• Adolf Hitler : If a thief takes your money and you take it back, does that make you also a thief?

• Dr. Joseph Goebbels : The opposition papers are implying things about your relationship with your niece.

  Adolf Hitler : Trust these Jews to paint everyone as dirty as they are.

  Dr. Joseph Goebbels : But it's not just them. People in the party are also beginning to object...

  Adolf Hitler : [outraged]  *She's my niece, for God's sake! We go to the opera together!*

• Adolf Hitler : Pride is a weapon!

• Adolf Hitler : Traitors are defined not by themselves, but by the people they betray.

• Adolf Hitler : We were friends once, Ernst; you saw my potential before anyone else; you speak your mind unlike the others; and you love your men more than yourself, which is rare in a leader. But you refuse to bend. Why? You have power.

  Ernst Röhm : I don't want power, I want justice. My men were promised...

  Adolf Hitler : I don't care. I don't give a damn about promises! You know this!... you know this. Ernst, the SA are not now, nor will they ever be the official German army. You must stand down.

  Ernst Röhm : You're right, Adolf. We were friends once; and I will *always* speak my mind; and I will *not* betray my men!

• Adolf Hitler : [speaking about Hindenburg's death]  Today, the old Reich and its finest leader enter Valhalla. At the same time, we mark the beginning of a new era. A time of peace and prosperity awaits us. The Thousand Year Reich has began. Sieg Heil!

  [Crowd repeats phrase] 

• Adolf Hitler : The SA are to be bridled, Ernst. They may sing, march, carry flags, but they are to keep calm unless I say otherwise.

  Ernst Röhm : We're not a Sunday shooting club, Adolf. We're a militia.

  Adolf Hitler : Not anymore. My personal security will now be handled by the SS. Your men give off the wrong impression.

  Ernst Röhm : I don't give a damn about impressions, but without the SA, without us, our loyalty...

  Adolf Hitler : The wheels of history have turned! The plan has changed.

  Ernst Röhm : Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

  [clicks heels, salutes, turns and leaves without his dismissal] 

• Adolf Hitler : Marx was a Jew. The Communist Party is run by Jews.

• President Paul von Hindenburg : [upon ceremony of Hitler's Chancellorship]  Do you solemnly swear to carry out the obligations of the office of Chancellor without Party interests and for the good of the nation?

  Adolf Hitler : I do.

  President Paul von Hindenburg : And do you further swear to uphold the Constitution, support the President and respect the right of the Reichstag, so help you God?

  Adolf Hitler : I do.

• Adolf Hitler : Either the enemy will pass over our body, or we will pass over theirs!
