Famous quotes containing the words french, national and/or track:
“The Persians are called the French of the East; we will call the Arabs Oriental Italians. A gifted noble people; a people of wild strong feelings, and of iron restraint over these: the characteristic of noblemindedness, of genius.”

—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“He who rides and keeps the beaten track studies the fences chiefly.”
