"La civilisation commence avec l'ordre, grandit avec la liberté et meurt avec le chaos."

Simplified Meaning:

Society starts to develop when people create rules and organized systems. For example, having laws that everyone follows helps communities run smoothly and safely. When these structures are in place, people can then enjoy more freedom and make their own choices. However, if things become too disorganized and chaotic, society can start to fall apart. Imagine a classroom: it functions well when students follow rules and respect each other, grows as they learn and express themselves, but turns into a mess if everyone starts ignoring rules and doing whatever they want. This quote suggests that a balance of order and freedom is crucial, and too much disorder can lead to the downfall of a community.
