What is a king Louis philippe quote?

Two are usually given, one serious and one mordant. 1)Nous cherchons à nous tenir dans un juste milieu, également éloigné des excès du pouvoir populaire et des abus du pouvoir royal - We try to hold a central position, equidistant from the excesses of popular power and the abuses of royal power. 2) Talleyrand, the old fox, was dying. he had held power, mostly as Foreign secretary, through the Revolution, the abolition of the Monarchy, the First republic, the Directory, the Consulate, the Empire, the restored Monarchy and now the July monarchy. He had started as a priest, risen to Bishop, repudiated the Church and done some pretty bad things in his time. Now on his deathbed, he said to the King, 'Sire, je souffre comme un damné.' - Sire, I am suffering like the damned. and got the reply 'Déjà?' - Already?
