I expect that on the 1st of August, the SA will be once more ready for duty. If the enemies of the SA are hoping that the SA will not return from leave, we are ready to let them enjoy the hope for a short time. The SA is, and remains, Germany's destiny.

— Ernst Röhm

I am still today a soldier and only a soldier. (Ich bin noch heute Soldat und nur Soldat)

If I am to be killed, let Adolf do it himself!

All revolutions devour their own children.

Since I am an immature and wicked man, war and unrest appeal to me more than good bourgeois order. Brutality is respected, the people need wholesome fear. They want to fear someone. They want someone to frighten them and make them shudderingly submissive.
