PITHY QUOTE FROM Lamennais: Collected Works

Open quotes
Nothing is so painful to a nation as such a doubt; it destroys all confidence, all security. Every day the nation reads the bulletin on the state of the patient’s health, not knowing whether the next day they will not be summoned to attend its funeral procession.
