France has no friends, only interests.
Always choose the hardest way, on it you will not find opponents
Only peril can bring the French together. One can't impose unity out of the blue on a country that has 265 different kinds of cheese.
Nothing builds authority up like silence, splendor of the strong and shelter of the weak.
Only by coming to grips with difficulty can you realize your full potential.
Difficulty attracts the characterful man, for it is by grasping it that he fulfils himself.
