More quotes by Klemens von Metternich

Italy is only a geographical expression.

To ruin those who possess something is not to come to the aid of those who possess nothing; it is only to render misery general.

I made history and therefore did not find time to write it.

I shall die as I have lived, not as a politician but as a socialist.

Statement (1849)

There is a wide sweep about my mind. I am always above and beyond the preoccupation of most public men; I cover a ground much vaster than they can see. I cannot keep myself from saying about twenty times a day: 'How right I am, and how wrong they are.'
