We have given most of Europe to Hitler. Let us try to hold on to what we have got left.

But the same intelligence compels Germany to practise the same policy.

It is neither the statesman nor the friend who is asking your help and assistance, but simply the man.

I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.

I defy anyone - and I have said this to the Germans - to build a solid, articulated, and viable Europe without France's consent.

France cannot be destroyed. She is an old country who, despite her misfortunes, has, and always will have, thanks to her past, a tremendous prestige in the world, whatever the fate inflicted upon her.

Workers of France, it is for the freedom of the prisoners that you will go to work in Germany! It is for our country that you will go in large numbers!
