Stolypin is a good man. They always kill the good ones... I cannot find a match. Does anyone have a match?... It happened with my grandfather, too. He helped the serfs; he freed them. So how did the peasants express their gratitude? They threw a bomb at him. Damn those revolutionaries. You try to help them by giving them what they want, and what do you get for it? Bombs, gunshots, assassinations! I want them rooted out. I want something done, do you understand me? I want them paid in kind!

The English have a parliament. Our British cousins gave their rights away; the Hapsburgs, and the Hohenzollerns, too. The Romanovs will not. What I was given, I will give my son.

The Tsar is here in Saint Petersburg to bless the troops. He is staying at the Winter Palace. This Sunday, hundreds of us will walk to the palace in a peaceful parade. I will meet him on the balcony and read this: "Your Majesty, we, the working men and women of Saint Petersburg, come to you seeking justice and protection. Only you can hear our grievances. If you do not help us, we will stay here and die, right in this very courtyard."

They won't last a week. We'll bury the German army and that little pansy of a Kaiser and be home in time for Christmas!

You ministers never cease to amaze me. You think you are in control, but you are going to be swept away just like us princes.

You must understand that you are free to say whatever you like. You must also understand that I am free to shoot you for saying it.
