Comment l'Histoire pourrait-elle mieux servir la vie qu'en attachant ? leur patrie et aux coutumes de leur patrie les races et les peuples moins favorisés, en leur donnant des goûts sédentaires, ce qui les empêche de chercher mieux ? l'étranger, de rivaliser dans la lutte pour parvenir ? ce mieux? Parfois cela paraît être de l'entêtement et de la déraison qui visse en quelque sorte l'individu ? tels compagnons et ? tel entourage, ? telles habitudes laborieuses, ? tels stérile coteau. Mais c'est la déraison la plus salutaire, celle qui profite le plus ? la collectivité. Chacun le sait, qui s'est rendu compte des terribles effets de l'esprit d'aventure, de la fièvre d'émigration, quand ils s'emparent de peuplades entières, chacun le sait, qui a vu de près un peuple ayant perdu la fidélité ? son passé, abandonné ? une chasse fiévreuse de la nouveauté, ? une recherche perpétuelle des éléments étrangers. Le sentiment contraire, le plaisir que l'arbre prend ? ses racines, le bonheur que l'on éprouve ? ne pas se sentir né de l'arbitraire et du hasard, mais sorti d'un passé héritier, floraison, fruit , ce qui excuserait et justifierait même l'existence : c'est l? ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui, avec une certaine prédilection, le sens historique.Deuxième Considération intempestive. ch. 3

Life is nothing without friendship.
The absurd does not liberate; it binds. It does not authorize all actions. Everything is permitted does not mean that nothing is forbidden.

Friends are proved by adversity.
Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed.
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.
What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?
It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.
