Quotes by Otto von Bismarck

Trust is a delicate flower. Once destroyed, it's not easily coming back.

The stronger we are, the less likely a war is.

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

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.

Children are our best judges.

People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.

Lies can make wars happen, but the truth can stop armies.

With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half.
