Re: Yes, one can not make money and still have time to fight. That's why principles take a back seat in France.

À un officier anglais qui disait, "Vous les français, vous vous battez pour l'argent, nous, nous nous battons pour l'honneur.", Surcouf aurait répondu : "On se bat toujours pour ce que l'on n'a pas".

To a British officer who quipped, "You Frenchmen are always fighting for money, whereas we always fight for honour", [French Corsair], Surcouf replied: "One always fights for what one wants."
