The people must be left nothing but their eyes to weep with over the war.

第 163 頁 - If I did not believe in a Divine Providence which has ordained this German nation to something good. and great, I would at once give up my trade as a statesman, or I would never have gone into the business.
第 419 頁 - As for using them some day as material for history, nothing of any value will be found in them. I believe the archives are open to the public at the end of thirty years — but it might be done much sooner. Even the despatches which do contain information are scarcely intelligible to those who do not know the people and their relations to each other. In thirty years...
第 284 頁 - I believe Bismarck will get his Alsace and what he wants of Lorraine; and likewise that it will do him, and us, and all the world, and even France itself by and by, a great deal of good.
第 420 頁 - ... he presented them ? And who has really an intimate knowledge of the people mentioned in his reports ? One must know what Gortschakoff, or Gladstone, or Granville had in his own mind when making the statements reported in the despatch . It is easier to find out something from the newspapers, of which governments also make use, and in which they frequently say much more clearly what they want.
