The famous sayings of Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister, are:

1. National security cannot be pinned on the gifts of others. History always advances on the saber. This world is a world of the weak and the strong.

2. The major contemporary political issues are related to the boundaries of the country. It is more than ever an issue of the country’s right to exist.

3. All countries in the world firmly believe that when it comes to their own country, every country believes that it exists and has something special.

4. Failure is the ultimate test of resilience.

5. Great determination must be sustained by unwavering determination.

6. We must unite and unite externally; we must have a truce internally and unite against the enemy.

7. The best way to educate frivolous young people is to let them see the hard work of our elderly.

8. Only through unity can we drive out the enemy.

9. The unity and hard work of the German nation are the real treasure of Germany and the source of its strength and dignity.

10. It’s not that we don’t dare to do things because they are difficult; it’s that things are difficult because we don’t dare.

11. To make a country extremely powerful, it does not rely on the occasional good deeds by its rulers, but on keeping its citizens virtuous, and it happens that the rulers also do some good deeds.

12. All the citizens of a country and the wealth they possess are not your enemies. The real enemy is poverty and ignorance caused by lack of education and the inability to master life skills.

13. A king cannot rule two hearts that are hostile to each other, nor can he command an army that does not trust each other.

14. If you can’t be the sun, be a star, but it’s not your size that determines success or failure, but how you are; if you can’t be a big road, be a small road, but it’s not your size that determines success or failure. But how you are.

15. History proves that only strong nations can achieve happiness if they unite together.
