Significant Rule

Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or rule:

“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

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