Metternich: Ex Ordine Libertas

« The word ‘freedom’ means for me not a point of departure but a genuine point of arrival. The point of departure is defined by the word ‘order’. Freedom cannot exist without the concept of order. »
— Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar
Fürst von Metternich-Winneberg-Beilstein

“Democracy is the most vile form of government… democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
– James Madison
