One can go to war alone, but you can't build peace alone.
One does not export democracy in an armored vehicle.
You cannot trust people who have such bad cuisine. It [Great Britain] is the country with the worst food after Finland.
Franco-American relations have been, and always will be, both conflictual and excellent. The U.S. finds France unbearable with its pretensions; we find the U.S. unbearable with its hegenomism. But deep down, we remember that the 'boys' - came to help us two times, just as the Americans remember that the French helped them with their independence. So there will be sparks but no fire, because a real bond exists.
As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure.
Our house is burning and we look elsewhere. Nature, mutilated and over-exploited, can no longer reconstitute itself and we refuse to admit it. Humanity is suffering. It is suffering from poor development, in the North as in the South, and we are indifferent. The Earth and humanity are in peril and we are all responsible. It is time now to open our eyes
Terrorism has become the systematic weapon of a war that knows no borders or seldom has a face.
The only thing they (the English) have ever done for European agriculture is mad cow disease.
It is with enormous distress that France has just learned of the monstrous attacks there is no other word for it that have just struck the United States of America. In these horrifying circumstances, the entire people of France, and I want to emphasize this, stand by the people of America. They express their friendship and solidarity in this tragedy. Naturally, I want to assure President Bush of my total support. France, as you know, has always condemned and unreservedly condemns terrorism, and considers that terrorism must be combated by all possible means.
Faced with intolerance and hatred, no debate is possible.
The construction of Europe is an art. It is the art of the possible.
I am not prepared to accept the economics of a housewife.
The law must have the last word.
Our house is burning down and we are blind to it. The earth and humankind are in danger and we are all responsible. It is time to open our eyes. Alarms are sounding across all continents. We cannot say we did not know! Climate warming is still reversible. Heavy would be the responsibility of those who refuse to fight it.
If our language, our programs, our creations are not strongly present in the new media, the young generation of our country will be economically and culturally marginalized.
No one can act alone in the name of all and no one can accept the anarchy of a society without rules.
I never like to say that I 'believe' anything. There are no ideas worth believing.
I am logically in favour of a referendum. It would be the only legitimate way.
Isolated and limited vision problem.
One month, two months, I am ready to accept any accord on this point that has the approval of the inspectors.
I would like to express to all Londoners, to all of the British people, the solidarity, the compassion and the friendship of France and the French people.
Finally, a safer world presupposes the revival of the virtuous circle of non-proliferation of weapons and disarmament.
Sovereignty is a question of principle. We must tell the Iraqis: you are a sovereign people. And you are in charge of your own future.
Romania and Bulgaria were particularly irresponsible. If they wanted to diminish their chances of joining Europe they could not have found a better way.
France will never forget the men who agreed to make the supreme sacrifice to liberate our soil, our country, our continent from the yoke of Nazi barbarity. It will never forget what it owes America, our eternal friend. Our two peoples have stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the brotherhood of blood spilled.
