第 252 頁 - Prince, has de.cided, with reference to the above demand, upon the representation of Count Eulenburg and myself, not to receive Count Benedetti again, but only to let him be informed through an aide-de-camp: 'That his Majesty had now received from the Prince confirmation of the news which Benedetti had already received from Paris, and had nothing further to say to the ambassador.'

第 316 頁 - What I admire in the order to which you belong is that they do live in the air; that they excel in athletic sports; that they can only speak one language; and that they never read. This is not a complete education, but it is the highest education since the Greek.

One cannot enter á tout jamais into such an engagement.
第 252 頁 - After the news of the renunciation of the Prince of Hohenzollern had been officially communicated by the Spanish government to the French government, the French ambassador in Ems nevertheless demanded that his Majesty should authorize him to telegraph to Paris that his Majesty pledged himself for all future time never again to give his consent to the Hohenzollerns resuming their candidature.
第 310 頁 - ... victory must be the security of Germany against future wars, which can only be assured by obtaining Alsace-Lorraine, Strasbourg and Metz ; and, with this material result, the moral satisfaction to our people that these old German lands are returned to us. It would be a crime against the moral systems of the world if the theft committed by the French were not expiated, not made good again. It would be a crime against the children themselves if they were not brought, even against their will, to...
第 252 頁 - His Majesty has since received a letter from the Prince. His Majesty having told Count Benedetti that he was awaiting news from the Prince, has decided, with reference to the above demand, upon the representation of Count Eulenburg and myself, not to receive Count Benedetti again, but only to let him be informed through an aide-de-camp : That his Majesty had now received from the Prince confirmation of the news which Benedetti had already received from Paris, and had nothing further to say to the...
