Benito Mussolini

For Fascism, the State is an absolute, before which individuals and groups are relative.

Fascism is a historical conception, in which man is not an atom in a casual organism, but a part of a spiritual organism.

The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual.

The Fascist regime is not a dictatorship, but a democracy organized, centralized, authoritative.

I want to make Italy great, respected, and feared.

The Mediterranean is our sea.

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.

The Fascist revolution is a revolution of the spirit.

The world needs a strong hand, a firm will, a clear vision.

My objective is to make Italy greater, stronger, more prosperous, more glorious.

We are tired of the old formulas, the old parties, the old men.

The plow marks the furrow, but the sword defends it.

We are creating a new civilization, a new Italy.

The Fascist must be a soldier of the revolution.

We believe in heroism, in sacrifice, in duty.

The century of Fascism is not yet over.

The future of Italy is in the hands of the Fascist youth.

The Fascist State is a will to power and a will to unity.

We represent a new principle in the world, the principle of authority.

The nation is not a sum of individuals, but an organism.
