My father spent his life keeping a king upon his throne; but I believe there are higher things and finer things than steadying a shaking throne or being a king.

And the name that has meant nothing to me except dominion and power,--it can serve no purpose for me to take it now.

I learned much from the poor Archduke; he taught me to hate the sham and shame of the life he had fled from.

My father was the last great defender of the divine right of kings; but I believe in the divine right of men.

And the dome of the Capitol in Washington does not mean to me force or hatred or power, but faith and hope and man's right to live and do and be whatever he can make himself.
