- I suppose that the most famous are these:
"L'Etat, c'est moi" (The state, that is me) --- Louis XIV
"Apres moi, le déluge" (After me, the flood) --- Louis XV
No history textbook can do without these quations.

And the one that I probably like the most is the one that you could see in Caramelicious signature as well.
"Impossible n'est pas français" (Impossible is not French) --- Napoléon Bonaparte

However, I usually try to retranslate it into Lithuanian "Neįmanoma? Tokio žodžio nežinau."

- La Révolution, comme Saturne, dévore ses propres enfants.
-- Georg Büchner

As well a quote that no history book can go without.

Beje, mula: "Neįmanoma - tai ne prancūziškas žodis." Kaip tau? :)
