Danh ngôn của Otto von Bismarck (Sứ mệnh: 8)

When you want to fool the world, tell the truth.
Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.
Politics is not an exact science.
Politics is the art of the next best.
A statesman... must wait until he hears the steps of God sounding through events, then leap up and grasp the hem of His garment.
To retain respect for sausages and laws, one must not watch them in the making.
People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.
The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.
The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.
A government must not waiver once it has chosen its course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.
Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.
The main thing is to make history, not to write it.
Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness.
An appeal to fear never finds an echo in German hearts.
Politics ruins the character.
All treaties between great states cease to be binding when they come in conflict with the struggle for existence.
Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.
Politics is the art of the possible.
