Quote by Prince Metternich

"I have come late to the rigorous study of philosophy, but I have never ceased to be a practical philosopher."

"The word 'experience' is like the stern of a ship, it is useful only when looking backward."

"Certainty is the privilege of the uneducated; the wise man hesitates."

"The great questions of the day will not be decided by speeches and majority decisions, but by iron and blood."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
