• Bismarck's genius, as well as his great flaw, was the same as that of another outstanding nineteenth-century politician of the German-speaking world, Prince Clemens Metternich. Both men were artificers, able to hold off the future by building a fragile present out of pieces of the past.

• Does not all the world know that when in autumn the Bismarcks of the world, or they who are bigger than Bismarcks, meet at this or that delicious haunt of salubrity, the affairs of the world are then settled in little conclaves, with grater ease, rapidity, and certainty than in large parliaments or the dull chambers of public offices?

• On the other hand, heroism is basic to the character of the Nordic peoples. This heroism of the ancient mythic period and this is what is decisive has never been lost, despite times of decline, so long as the Nordic blood was still alive. Heroism, in fact, took many forms, from the warrior nobility of Siegfried or Hercules to the intellectual nobility of Copernicus and Leonardo , the religious nobility of Eckehart and Lagarde, or the political nobility of Frederick the Great and Bismarck , and its substance has remained the same.

• If you study Japanese art you see a man who is undoubtedly wise, philosophic and intelligent, who spends his time how? In studying the distance between the earth and the moon? No. In studying the policy of Bismarck? No. He studies a single blade of grass. But this blade of grass leads him to draw every plant and then the seasons, the wide aspects of the countryside, then animals, then the human figure. So he passes his life, and life is too short to do the whole.

• Bismarck había enseñado astutamente a los partidos a no aspirar a un atractivo nacional, sino a representar intereses. Bajo la República siguieron siendo grupos de presión de clase o sectoriales. Esto fue fatal, ya que hizo que el sistema de partidos, y con él el parlamentarismo democrático, pareciera un factor de división más que de unificación. Y lo que es peor: los partidos nunca produjeron un líder que apelara más allá de los estrechos límites de sus propios seguidores.

• Eden ha colocado a su país en una posición en la que ha sufrido el mayor revés diplomático desde que Bismarck, en circunstancias similares, le echara un farol a Palmerston en el asunto de Schleswig-Holstein... El daño fue aún mayor cuando Rusia demostró, con su actuación en España, que no era una buena europea, como el Sr. Eden había asegurado al mundo que era el caso.
