Courtesy is not dead - it has merely taken refuge in Great Britain.

The man who has entered into a beautiful union is sure of at least one person to whom he can give the best that he possesses.

We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory. Like the images the photographer plunges into a golden bath, our sentiments take on color; and only then, after that recoil and that trans-figuration, do we understand their real meaning and enjoy them in all their tranquil splendor.

You conquered the landscape with the soles of shoes, not the tires.

Let us lose none of their humble words, let us note their slightest gestures, and tell me, tell me that we will think of them together, now and later, when we realise the misery of the times and the magnitude of their sacrifice.

When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut.

We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory.
