Character: Otto von Bismarck

Favorite show of the gods to see the person joined the fight against an insurmountable obstacle.

The enemy, < ... > no fires of public opinion, the enemy razyat only bullets...

Bismarck, frowning asked:
- Maybe start by getting a drink?
- E, Bismarck! - said Gorchakov. - It is only in Russia at first drink, and then come to blows. Let's modify this order: first fight, and then drink...

Bismarck angrily slammed the Desk drawers, digging out any documents. Said
- Gorchakov behaved like the young lady that hussar wants to kiss. The young lady will tell you "no", then immediately kiss...

According to Bismarck, the government has become like a silly chicken, when in the war for Lombardy suddenly decided to "save" Austria from defeat.
- Why save? reasoned Bismarck, - in order only to Austria, grateful for the rescue, were lambing on our heads? Remember how she got even with St. Petersburg for service in the suppression of the Hungarian revolt...

How strange, he said, is actively starting the conversation - now four centuries Bismarchi from the river Elbe rings swords, and I was born the day the first of April, when decided all to deceive, and therefore chose a career diplomat... the French Have, I hear there's one meal that everyone eats, but no one knows what it is made. Diplomacy reminds me of this mysterious soup: tasty, but suspicious!

By studying the past, you can predict the future. The story will help me to recognize the boundaries of the possible: a politician has to know where ends the path leading it into the abyss...

- What is the most? This is a real g...! To be part of the majority - the fate of bestial cattle. Nero and the Gracchi, the Shakespeares and Sillery, the Blücher and Scharnhorst always remained in the minority, and the crowd just followed them... Most of there is to despise him!
