Bismarck-Schönhausen, Otto von

We Germans kill as much time with little as drinking beer

There is never as much lying as before the election, during the war and after the hunt

Give the worker the right to work!

I never chase two rabbits at once

I see in the domestic tradition of the German mother and wife a firmer guarantee of our political future than in any bastion of our fortresses

The less people know how sausages and laws are made, the better they sleep

There is something surprisingly uncomfortable about every new tax for those who are supposed to pay it or even lay it out

Every superlative provokes contradiction

Might goes before right

Politics doesn't get along with speeches and rifle festivals and songs, it only gets along with blood and iron

Openness always deserves recognition

Orders are earned, earned or earned

Politics is the art of the possible

Red wine from Bordeaux is the natural drink of North German

Let's put Germany in the saddle; it will be able to ride

Let us not fall into the error of doubting either the sanity or the goodwill of anyone who thinks differently
