"If fortune has endowed any name with a more glorious history than that of Goth, it must surely be that of Frank. No German word has pushed out more roots into the soil of Europe, from the Franche- Comte to Franconia, from Frankfurt to Villefranche. The concepts of freedom, integrity and power are associated with it in all western languages."
