About this Quote
This quote by Kelly Miller is describing the reign of Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of the German Empire. Bismarck was understood for his strong management and his ability to combine the German states. In the early days of his reign, Bismarck confided to a pal that it would one day be required for Germany to confine William II, the German Emperor, in a ridiculous asylum. This quote recommends that Bismarck was aware of the capacity for William II to become a liability to the German Empire. Bismarck's prediction was eventually proven appropriate, as William II was ultimately stated unsuited to rule and was required to abandon in 1918. This quote acts as a pointer of the significance of strong management and the effects of permitting a leader to become a liability.
