Maybe, but I always (is it just me?) associate the quotes with the people who were quoted.
"What we have to fight for is the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the creator"
or
"Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live."
It's pretty similar stuff, and coming from the guy who said stuff like:
"The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew"
