Otto Von Bismarck (1815-1898) quotes

• A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.
• All treaties between great states cease to be binding when they come in conflict with the struggle for existence.
• An appeal to fear never finds an echo in German hearts.
• Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.
• Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.
• People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.
• The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.
• When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.
• When you want to fool the world, tell the truth.
