Quote by Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898)

• Beware of sentimental alliances where the consciousness of good deeds is the only compensation for noble sacrifices.

• A really great man is known by three signs... generosity in the design, humanity in the execution, moderation in success.

• A man never lies as much as after a hunt, during a war, and before an election.

• Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made.

• Politics is the art of the possible.

• When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of putting it into practice.
