The young man's memory will surely be recalled after him, For his remembrance in goodness is more noble and elevated. And the saying of Ibn Duraid: "A person is nothing but the memory they leave behind, So be a good memory for those who remember." And Alexander was asked, "If you were to increase your women, would you be more pleased?" He replied, "Lasting remembrance comes from a good character and conduct. It is not fitting for one who has conquered men to be swayed by women." And among the characteristics of the French is curiosity and a passion for all new things, and a love of change and alteration in all matters, especially in matters of dress, for they never settle on one style. They do not have a fixed custom in attire. This does not mean they change their clothes entirely, but rather that they vary them. For example, they do not change the 'ribnata' (a type of garment) and move from it to the 'mamah' (another garment). Rather, they wear the 'ribnata' in one style for a time, and after a while, they move to another style, whether in its form or color, and so on. Among their characteristics is skill and diligence. You might find a person of high standing running in the street like a child. Among their characteristics is also flightiness and fickleness, so a person among them might move from joy to sadness and vice versa, and from seriousness to jest and vice versa. A person might even commit a series of contradictory actions in a single day. All of this is in trivial matters. As for important matters, their political views do not change; each person sticks to their doctrine and opinion and supports it for their entire life. Despite their strong inclination towards their homelands, they love to travel. They might spend long periods wandering between the East and the West, even throwing themselves into dangers for the benefit of their homelands. They are like a confirmation of the saying of Al-Hajiri: "All homes and lands are dear to me, But none are as dear as my homeland and my country."
