I find Otto von Bismarck to have been a rather intelligent chap and never less than humorous. So, I thought I'd share some quotes of his. Feel free to add, or comment, etc...
"A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward." (for Bush fans,
)
"A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling."
"A statesman... must wait until he hears the steps of God sounding through events, then leap up and grasp the hem of His garment."
"Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness. "
"I have seen three emperors in their nakedness, and the sight was not inspiring."
"Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."
"There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America."
"When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice."
"When you want to fool the world, tell the truth."
