"Jews and Freemasons, armaments industrialists, war profiteers, international traders, and stock jobbers, found political blackguards. Desperado's and glory seekers, who represented war as something to be yearned for and hence wished for. Believe me, my Deputies, I feel an inner disgust at this type of unscrupulous parliamentarian annihilators of peoples and states. It's almost painful to me to have been chosen by Providence to give a shove to what these men have brought to its knees. It was not my ambition to wage wars, but to build up a new social state of the highest order. And every year of war takes me away from my work."
"In this hour, I feel compelled, standing before my conscience, to direct yet another appeal to reason in England. I believe I can do this as I am not asking as the vanquished, but as the victor. I am speaking in the name of reason. I see no reason which could force the continuation of this war. I regret the sacrifices it will demand, I would like to spare my Volk. I know the hearts of millions of men and boys aglow at the thought of finally being allowed to wage war against an enemy ... who has, without reasonable cause, declared war on us a second time."
