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.”
