Otto von Bismarck

"An appeal to fear never finds an echo in German hearts."

"Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."

"A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward."

"The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood."

"The main thing is to make history, not to write it."

"The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia."
