Blessed Charles of Austria - A Holy Emperor and His Legacy by Charles A. Coulombe

"From his life we can learn that it is not necessarily the results or the achievements that count, but the will to try to do what is right, and if the rewards don't come immediately, there is no need to despair, they might come later in heavenly blessings." Archduke Karl von Habsburg, grandson of Blessed Charles I of Austria
