Mon cher Bertrand, donne-moi cent écus, je te fais acquitter demain.
Je n'ai pas d'argent.
Eh bien donne-moi cent francs.
Pas de sous.
Tu n'as pas dix francs?
Pas un liard.
Alors donne-moi tes bottes, je plaide la circonstance atténuante.

BEN FRANKLIN ON FRENCH CHARACTER
-letter to Josiah Quincy, April 22, 1779
I find (the French) a most amiable nation to live with.
The Spaniards are, by common opinion, supposed to be
cruel, the English proud, the Scotch insolent, the Dutch
avaricious, etc., but I think the French have no national
vice ascribed to them.
They have some frivolities, but they are harmless. To
dress their heads so that a hat cannot be put on them,
and then wear their hats under their arms, and to fill
their noses with tobacco, may be called follies, perhaps,
but they are not vices. They are only the effects of the
tyranny of custom.
In short, there is nothing wanting in the character of a
Frenchman that belongs to that of an agreeable and worthy man. There are only some trifles surplus, or which
might be spared.
