Charles de Gaulle/3rd Government 9 June 1958 - 8 January 1959

Famous quotes containing the words government, january and/or gaulle:

    Any man knows when he is justified, and all the wits in the world cannot enlighten him on that point. The murderer always knows that he is justly punished; but when a government takes the life of a man without the consent of his conscience, it is an audacious government, and is taking a step towards its own dissolution.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    and you undid the reins
    and I undid the buttons,
    the bones, the confusions,
    The New England postcards,
    the January ten o’clock night,
    and we rose up like wheat....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    For all of us Frenchmen, the guiding rule of our epoch is to be faithful to France.
    —Charles De Gaulle (1890–1970)
