We live in a wondrous time in which the strong is weak because of his moral scruples and the weak grows strong because of his audacity.

I am bored. The great things are done. The German Reich is made.

I must protest that I would never seek foreign conflicts just to go over domestic difficulties; that would be frivolous. I was speaking of conflicts that we could not avoid, even though we do not seek them.

We live in a wondrous time in which the strong is weak because of his moral scruples and the weak grows strong because of his audacity.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

He who has his thumb on the purse has the power.
