Count Karl Sigmund von Hohenwart (German: Karl Graf von Hohenwart) (February 12, 1824, Vienna – April 26, 1899) was an Austrian politician who served as Minister-President of Austria in 1871. Hohenwart’s government attempted to implement a Federalist agreement between Bohemia and the governing Austro-Hungarian Empire. This attempt to conciliate the Bohemian Czechs caused massive criticism, and led to the fall of the Hohenwart government only months after it assumed office.

Famous quotes containing the words count and/or von:
“I know we’re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don’t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don’t care that we don’t.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The day is for mistake and error, sequence of time for success and carrying out. The one who anticipates is master of the day.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
