  6. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE FOLOWING: • "OnedaythegreatEuropeanWarwillcomeoutofsome damned foolish thing in the Balkans.“ • Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.

  7. Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made. • Politics is the art of the possible. • A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.

  8. Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied. • Politics ruins the character. • People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election. • When you want to fool the world, tell the truth. • Show me an objective worthy of war and I will go along with you.

  9. Thank you.
