Thought for the Day




Prince Metternich
Portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence.


"What is true of religious dogma is equally true of principles of government. To discuss them is often dangerous and always useless."

Metternich

I know you will be wondering (go on, admit it), if of course you do not already know, but, in addition to the jewel of the Order of the Golden Fleece, I believe that the riband the Prince is wearing is that of the Order of St Stephen of Hungary.
