Metternich ideas of ideal government
There should be respect for all that is liberty
for every government to watch over the well being
of its people a league between all governments
of institutions in lawful ways refusal on the
part of every monarch to aid partisans under any
mask whatever. Such are the ideas of the great
monarchs. The world will be saved if they bring
them into action. It is lost if they do not. The
first and greatest concern for the majority of
every nation is the stability of the laws and
their uninterrupted action- never their change.
Let government be just, but strong beneficent
but strict. Let them maintain religious
principles in all their purity. Let them suppress
secret societies, that gangrene of society.
