Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
From Charles de Gaulle
There can be no prestige without mystery, for familiarity breeds contempt.
The leader must aim high, see big, judge widely, thus setting himself apart form the ordinary people who debate in narrow confines.
A great country worthy of the name does not have any friends.
No nation has friends only interests.
A true leader always keeps an element of surprise up his sleeve, which others cannot grasp but which keeps his public excited and breathless.
Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.
Treaties, you see, are like girls and roses; they last while they last.
France cannot be France without greatness.
To govern is always to choose among disadvantages.
