Quotations with a citation
Frenchmen, and you above all, Parisians, inhabitants of the city that His Majesty's ancestors were pleased to call the good city of Paris, beware of the suggestions and lies of your false friends; return to your king; he will always be your father, your best friend: what joy he will have in forgetting all the personal insults he has suffered, and in seeing himself once more in your midst, when a Constitution - freely accepted by him - ensures that our holy religion is respected, that the government is established on a stable footing, and that, through its actions, the property and status of each individual will no longer be threatened, that the laws will no longer be broken with impunity, and that, finally, liberty will be established on firm and unshakeable foundations.
You can always rely on my affection... I am most satisfied, I agree to the establishment of the citizens' guard... Monsieur Bailly, I am very glad that you should be Mayor and M. de La Fayette commander-in-chief.
