Strana 189 - ... none of them will at once possess the advantage of the authority which has been conferred upon me in virtue of my having held the Presidency for long years and of having enjoyed the confidence of both the late Emperors. I have never hitherto felt the necessity of calling the attention of any one of my colleagues to the order of 1852. Its existence and the certainty that I enjoyed the confidence of the late Emperors William and Frederick were sufficient to ensure my authority in the council of...
Strana 21 - The psychologist is expected to present his clinical findings accurately and with candor, in language that facilitates assimilation, and in such a way as to promote the welfare of the client (1) It is recognized that skill in communication is required as a matter of clinical competence.
Strana 174 - The reports make it as clear as possible that the Russians are strategically fully prepared to go to war — and I must greatly deplore the fact that I have received so few of the reports. You ought to have drawn my attention long ago to the terrible danger threatening ! It is more than high time to warn the Austrians and to take counter-measures.
Strana 116 - The employers and shareholders must give way ; the workers were his subjects, for whom it was his place to care ; if the industrial millionaires would not do as he wished he would withdraw his troops ; if the villas of the wealthy mineowners and directors were then set on fire, and their gardens trampled underfoot, they would soon sing small.

Strana 277 - I speak of the secret reports from Petersburg, which, even assuming that they were exaggerated or falsified, must have been written with a knowledge of the situation. The Kaiser was disagreeably affected by my opinion where he had expected approbation, and set me down in front of my dwelling instead of coming in with me for a further chat over official affairs. The visit which the Kaiser paid the Tsar from the...
Strana 22 - I would let my limbs be hewn off piecemeal, one after the other, rather than undertake anything which would be disagreeable to you or cause you difficulties — should, I think, be sufficient guarantee that I have engaged in this work in no party spirit.
Strana 275 - Finance ; for semi-official articles of this kind could not be written without hearing what the Imperial Chancellor had to say? since they would influence the general policy of the Empire. His Majesty thereupon induced my son to write to me urgently that he wished a Press campaign to be undertaken against the Russian loan, and had the representative of the then absent Minister...
Strana 270 - June, 1888, the Crown Prince became Kaiser. Just a week later I heard indirectly of an Imperial utterance to the effect that the Kaiser was most unpleasantly affected by various articles in the Berlin newspapers ; in particular by an article in the Berliner Tageblatt (evening edition of the...
