Benito Mussolini

Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. ”

The keystone of the Fascist doctrine is its conception of the State, of its essence, its functions, and its aims. For Fascism the State is absolute, individuals and groups relative. ”

The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building. ”

Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. ”

All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. ”

War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it. ”

Socialism is a fraud, a comedy, a phantom, a blackmail. ”

The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out. ”

War is to man what maternity is to a woman. From a philosophical and doctrinal viewpoint, I do not believe in perpetual peace. ”

It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better. ”
