Our Approach And Our Vision ... Is

As Far As I'm Concerned, War Always Means Failure.

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.

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.

Anything That Can Hurt The Convictions Of Another, Particularly Religious Convictions, Must Be Avoided. Freedom Of Expression Must Be Exercised In A Spirit Of Responsibility. I Condemn All Manifest Provocation That Might Dangerously Fan Passions.

The Authority And Influence Of France On The World Scene In The 21st Century Will Not Depend Solely On Its Modernity And Cohesion, Nor Even On The Continuity And Professionalism Of Its Foreign Policy. France Will Be Heeded If It Has A Message To Convey. Faced With The Temptations Of Laissez-faire, France Must Stand Out As The Nation With The Imagination And Determination To Pursue An Ambition That Combines Cogency With Generosity.
