French being a much more poetic language than English, I would translate it like this:
Notre nation se reflète dans son peuple, soyons exemplaires.

If you were to translate is litteraly (like google translate does) it sounds flat

furansu-kun is right >>59536965
it's not litteral, but it's carrying out the meaning pretty well
"soyez exemplaire" can be right too, depending on the context
"hold standard" is not really easy to translate

"Hold standard" part wouldn't really translate that well. What's this quote for if I may ask?
