It is very easy to accuse a government of imperfection, for all mortal things are full of it.
Michel de MontaigneI never rebel so much against France as not to regard Paris with a friendly eye; she has had my heart since my childhood... I love her tenderly, even to her warts and her spots. I am French only by this great city: the glory of France, and one of the noblest ornaments of the world.
