"Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied." ― Otto von Bismarck Topic(s): Politics More From Otto von Bismarck "People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election." "The main thing is to make history, not to write it." "The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood."

I think it is a right idea to stage a special summit, which would deal with the question of priorities of European politics."― Angela Merkel "You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics."― Charles Bukowski "Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider’s web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel."― Tryon Edwards
