Charles de Gaulle Quote

France was built with swords. The fleur-de-lis, symbol of national unity, is only the image of a spear with three pikes.


In French: "La France fut faite à coups d'épée. La fleur de lys, symbole d'unité nationale, n'est que l'image d'un javelot à trois lances."
La France et son armée (1938)
