It was essential that w^e should remove one of these two powerful adversaries that we had vanquished on the battle-field from the temptation to make alliances w^ith others for the purpose of obtaining revenge. We could not address ourselves to France. Any one acquainted with the history and character of the Gallic nation had no dif...ficulty in understanding why. " ^ The Austrian ^ Thoughts and Souvenirs, Volume II.

As for the Italians, of whom he said in 1880, ''The Italians are like those crows that feed on carrion and hover around battle-fields until something is left for them to eat, '' ^ he accepted them with a touch of disdain, as a sort of political instrument, and still more as affording by their connection with Austria and Germany an additional guarantee for Austria.
