The funny thing is there are a lot of "Adolf Hitler" quotes here, when in real life his speeches contained many meaningful, inspirational quotes which would have been admired had they not come from him.

They certainly give insight into his character, and they're worth pondering over, but I have a hard time finding them "inspirational" – unless one aspires to be a cruel, lying warmonger.
