Philosophy
"The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
Politics
"I said to the German Ambassador that, as long as there was only a dispute between Austria and Serbia alone, I did not feel entitled to intervene; but that, directly it was a matter between Austria and Russia, it became a question of the peace of Europe, which concerned us all."

Peace

Power

Government
