Blut und Eisen Blood and Iron!
A partial, turned around, quote from Chancellor Otto von Bismark,
paraphrased from a speech to the Prussian Diet on September 30th 1862:
"The great questions of the time are not decided by speeches and
majority decisions--that was the error 1848 and 1849--but by iron and
blood."
