You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.
From Charles de Gaulle
The true statesman is the one who is willing to take risks.
One cannot govern with 'buts'.
In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.
Old age is a shipwreck.
I might have had trouble saving France in 1946 - I didn't have television then.
I grew up to always respect authority and respect those in charge.
Authority doesn't work without prestige, or prestige without distance.
The sword is the axis of the world and its power is absolute.
Diplomats are useful only in fair weather. As soon as it rains they drown in every drop.
