Yvonne de Gaulle quotes

The presidency is temporary - but the family is permanent.
-- Yvonne de Gaulle

#Family #Temporary

My family background was deeply Christian.

Kissing power is stronger than will power.

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

But there were years when, in search of what I thought was better, nobler things I denied these, my people, and my family. I forgot the songs they sung - and most of those songs are now dead; I erased their dialect from my tongue; I was ashamed of them and their ways of life. But now - yes, I love them; they are a part of my blood; they, with all their virtues and their faults, played a great part in forming my way of looking at life.

The family is where most of our joy comes from.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

love is reliable. infatuation is temporary.

The temporary good is enemy to the permanent best.

Our citizenship is in eternity; history is our temporary residence.

Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent.
