Quebec Does Not Have Opinions, But Only

We Are Here A Nation, Composed Of The Most Heterogeneous Elements-protestants And Catholics, English, French, German, Irish, Scotch, Every One, Let It Be Remembered, With His Traditions, With His Prejudices. In Each Of These Conflicting Antagonistic Elements, However, There Is A Common Spot Of Patriotism, And The Only True Policy Is That Which Reaches That Common Patriotism And Makes It Vibrate In All Toward Common Ends And Common Aspirations.

For Us, Sons Of France, Political Sentiment Is A Passion; While, For The Englishmen, Politics Are A Question Of Business.

We French-canadians Belong To One Country, Canada: Canada Is For Us The Whole World: But The English-canadians Have Two Countries, One Here And One Across The Sea.

A Colony, Yet A Nation - Words Never Before In The History Of The World Associated Together.

What Is Hateful Is Not Rebellion But The Despotism Which Induces The Rebellion; What Is Hateful Are Not Rebels But The Men, Who, Having The Enjoyment Of Power, Do Not Discharge The Duties Of Power; They Are The Men Who, Having The Power To Redress Wrongs, Refuse To Listen To The Petitioners That Are Sent To Them; They Are The Men Who, When They Are Asked For A Loaf, Give A Stone.
