“For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.”

The desire of privilege and the taste of equality are the dominant and contradictory passions of the French of all times.

All my life I have had a certain idea of France.

You’ll live. Only the best get killed.

Don’t think of yourself as indispensable or infallible. The cemeteries of the world are full of indispensable men.

Never relinquish the initiative.

How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?

Men are of no importance. What counts is who commands.

No country without an atom bomb could properly consider itself independent.

France has lost the battle but she has not lost the war.

History does not teach fatalism. There are moments when the will of a handful of free men breaks through determinism and opens up new roads.

Difficulty attracts the man of character because it is in embracing it that he realizes himself.

Every Frenchman wants to enjoy one or more privileges; that’s the way he shows his passion for equality.

Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.

The leader is always alone before bad fates.

In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.

Always choose the hardest way, on it you will not find opponents.

Something in your eyes captured my soul, and every night I see you in my dreams. You’re all I know. I can’t let go.

I honestly didn’t think miracles could ever come from my broken pieces, and I was disabled in fear that my dreams would always remain as dreams. Don’t give up on you. Don’t give up on God. Don’t give up on love.

When you believe in your dream and your vision, then it begins to attract its own resources. No one was born to be a failure.

May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future.

I heard you went to outer space, and while you dreamt – the planets and galaxies whispered my name.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Don’t be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams. Govern your life by priorities not your pressures.

Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers that there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.
