Excerpt from Voyages Et Glorieuses Découvertes des Grands Navigateurs Et Explorateurs Français
Plus audacieux que ses frères, un homme a lancé sur ces flots un tronc d'arbre et, sur ce frêle esquif, un navigateur est né.
Apprendre est un besoin pour la nature humaine, aussi puissant que la soif et la faim. Grâce à lui, on a cherché; grâce à lui, on a trouvé; c'est à lui que nous devons les sciences qui ont engendré le progrès.
