Vilém II. Pruský citáty a výroky

„Po třicet let byla armáda mou pýchou. Žil jsem pro ni, pro ni jsem pracoval a nyní - po čtyřech a půl skvělých letech války plných vítězství, která nemají obdobu - se musela vzdát kvůli dýce vražené do jejích zad revolucionáři právě ve chvíli, kdy byl mír na dosah!“

„Jako před tisíci lety Hunové za krále Etzela získali jméno, které ještě dnes v tradici a pohádkách znamená násilníky, nechť také jméno Němců v Číně na tisíc let vašim prostřednictvím způsobí, že se už nikdy žádný Číňan neodváží na Němce třeba jen nevraživě pohlédnout.“

Vilém II. Pruský: Citáty anglicky

“But there have been those who did not want to work, but wanted to rest on their laurels. They were our enemies. We angered them through our prosperous development, our industry and science, our art and popular education, social legislation, etc. That raised our nation to a high place, and then came envy. Envy caused our opponents to fight, and so the war came over us who had no idea of it.”

“Remember that you are a chosen people! The spirit of the Lord has descended upon me, because I am Emperor of the Germans! I am the instrument of the Most High. I am His sword, His representative. Woe and death to all those who resist my will! Woe and death to those who do not believe in my mission! Woe and death to the cowards! Let them perish,—all the enemies of the German people! God demands their destruction,—God who, through my mouth, commands you to execute His will.”

Wilhelm II, German Emperor

Proclamation to his Eastern Army (1914), quoted in W. W. Coole (ed.), Thus Spake Germany (London: George Routledge & Sons, 1941), p. 108
1910s

“Arise, to arms! All hesitation, all delay is treason to the country. It is a question of the life or death of our Empire, of the life or death of German Might. We shall defend ourselves to the last breath and to the last man. Though a world of enemies come, we shall fight notwithstanding. When Germany has remained united, she has never been vanquished. Forward with God, for God will be with us as He was with our fathers.”
