Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VII, § 2. Cartan subalgebras and regular elements of a Lie algebra

Every Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} is the sum of its Cartan subalgebras.

The sum s\mathfrak{s} of the Cartan subalgebras of g\mathfrak{g} contains the set of regular elements of g\mathfrak{g} (Th. 1 (i)). Since this set is dense in g\mathfrak{g} for the Zariski topology, s=g\mathfrak{s}=\mathfrak{g}.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
