Quotes 

• Fürst Bismarck : [final quote, while standing in front of the painting of Bismarck in Versailles during the foundation of the German Empire]  Twenty years ago I stood there. And now? Where do I stand now? But where I stand today is not important anymore. Cause what will survive me is the Empire. My empire. Germany. Yes. My work is done. It was just a beginning. Who will complete it?

• Fürst Bismarck : The word "never", your majesty, in politics often means "tomorrow".
