“With the world began a war that will only end with the world, and not before: that of man against nature, mind against matter, freedom against fate. History is nothing but the story of this endless struggle.”

“The history of France begins with the French language. Language is the primary sign of nationality.”

“England is an Empire, Germany a race; France is a person.”

“France is the daughter of freedom. In human progress, the essential part, the main force, is called man. Man is his own Prometheus.”
