A great nose indicates a great man-
Genial, courteous, intellectual,
Virile, courageous.

Attendu qu'un grand nez est proprement l'indice
D'un homme affable, bon, courtois, spirituel,
Libéral, courageux.

Another quote from the 1890s

We are one people-our enemies have made us one whether we will or not, as has repeatedly happened in history. Affliction binds us together, and thus united, we suddenly discover our strength. Yes, we are strong enough to form a State, and, indeed, a model State.
