Translated: "Nothing is that big, that does not shrink by discord. Nothing is that small, that does not rise greatly by concord. Not discord, concord must be now and forever be."







The Peace of 1737 (formally negotiated as the Preliminary Treaty of Vienna in 1735 and finalized in 1738) ended the War of the Polish Succession. From the Austrian Habsburg perspective, it was a pragmatic compromise that secured France's crucial recognition of the Pragmatic Sanction in exchange for yielding significant Italian territories and the ancestral Duchy of Lorraine.
