France has lost a battle. But France has not lost the war

Charles De Gaulle
About This Quote

This quote is a homage to the French people. The English people, who lost this particular battle in 1690, were quick to accept the fact that they had lost the war. But they never gave up. They never stopped fighting for their freedom. It is that same spirit that makes us British proud of our country, and it is that same spirit that will keep us free for all time.
