Georg Herbert Münster

thumb| Georg Herbert Fürst zu Münster von Derneburg (23 December 1820 – 28 March 1902), also known by his earlier title of Count of Münster-Ledenburg, was a Hanoverian and later German diplomat and politician. He served as ambassador to London, 1873–1885, and Paris, 1885–1900. Quotes Despotism easily leads to petty tyranny. This was demonstrated in the last years of the life of the Emperor Paul; and tyranny too often suggests the awful remedy of murder. An intelligent Russian once remarked to us, "Every country has its own constitution; ours is absolutism moderated by assassination."
