Charles de Gaulle
  • Old age is a shipwreck.

  • Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.

  • You'll live. Only the best get killed.

  • It is not tolerable, it is not possible, that from so much death, so much sacrifice and ruin, so much heroism, a greater and better humanity shall not emerge.

  • I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.
