Wilhelm II quotes
-
“Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world.”
-- Wilhelm II -
“A Jew cannot be a true patriot. He is something different, like a bad insect. He must be kept apart, out of a place where he can do mischief - even by pogroms, if necessary. The Jews are responsible for Bolshevism in Russia, and Germany too. I was far too indulgent with them during my reign, and I bitterly regret the favors I showed the prominent Jewish bankers.”
-- Wilhelm II -
“Should you encounter the enemy, he will be defeated! No quarter will be given! Prisoners will not be taken! Whoever falls into your hands is forfeited. Just as a thousand years ago the Huns under their King Attila made a name for themselves, one that even today makes them seem mighty in history and legend, may the name German be affirmed by you in such a way in China that no Chinese will ever again dare to look cross-eyed at a German.”
-- Wilhelm IISource : "Hun Speech". Address in Bremerhaven to the German Expeditionary Force Prior to its Departure for China, germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org. July 27, 1900.

“I look upon the People and the Nation as handed on to me as an responsibility conferred upon me by God, and I believe, as it is written in the Bible, that it is my duty to increase this heritage for which one day I shall be called upon to give an account. Whoever tries to interfere with my task I shall crush.”

“Germany's greatness makes it impossible for her to do without the ocean, but the ocean also proves that even in the distance, and on its farther side, without Germany and the German Emperor, no great decision dare henceforth be taken.”
-- Wilhelm II -
“I am the emperor of Germany, but you are the emperor of chefs.”
-- Wilhelm II -
-
“Our German Fatherland to which I hope will be granted... to become in the future as closely united, as powerful, and as authoritative as once the Roman world-empire was, and that, just as in the old times they said, Civis romanus sum, hereafter, at some time in the future, they will say, I am a German citizen.”
-- Wilhelm II -
“You will come home before the leaves have fallen from the trees.”
-- Wilhelm II
