Il faut chercher la discipline dans la liberté 
et non dans les formules devenues caduques 
et bonnes pour les faibles.  
N'écouter les conseils de personne sinon du vent 
qui passe et nous raconte l'histoire du monde.

One must seek discipline in freedom

Language: English after the French (Français)

Chosen for Diff

One must seek discipline in freedom 
and not in the outworn formulas 
fit only for the feeble-minded. 
Heed not the counsels of anyone except the wind, 
which passes and tells the history of the world.
