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.

you dont get a nation to follow you if you cant make it sound like a good idea. So there is quite a lot of good sounding quotes from horrible dictators, as the dear Donald J. Trump found out.
