LEON BLUM

When Hitler and Goebbels talk of organizing Europe, when the French 'collaborators' echo their words, we know what they mean and what they want. In present realities their European Order is nothing but the utilization of all European resources, the extraction and extortion of all we have, for the benefit of the Axis, and their so-called organization of Europe is no more than the future total enslavement of Europe by the Nazi regime

Morality may consist solely in the courage of making a choice.

Life does not give itself to one who tries to keep all its advantages at once. I have often thought morality may perhaps consist solely in the courage of making a choice.

The cause of Freedom and the cause of Peace are bound together.

The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought.

When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again.

Our foreign policy has been inspired by two simple principles: the determination to place France's interests above all others, and the conviction that France has no greater interest than that of peace.

The arming of a government can really only be done by another government. To be really effective, aid must be governmental.

The international body must have the institutions and powers it needs to do what it is created to do; in other words it must be boldly and openly set up as a super-state on a level above the national sovereignties, and that, in turn, means that the Member States must have accepted in advance as much limitation and subordination of their particular sovereignties as this superior sovereign power requires.

The parliamentary regime is a regime of parties
