The game is not worth the candle.
Nothing is so burdensome as a secret.
Travellers from afar can lie with impunity.
A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.
One can go a long way after one is tired.
To turn an obstacle to one's advantage is a great step towards victory.
Skeptics are never deceived.
We must learn from life how to suffer it.
The worst is not always certain but it's very likely.
The price spoils the pleasure.
Gratitude is the heart's memory.
A good meal ought to begin with hunger.
Between two stools one sits on the ground.
No one is expected to achieve the impossible.
When a man begins to reason he ceases to feel.
Everything passes everything wears out everything breaks.(Tout passe tout lasse tout casse.)
A white wall is the fool's paper.
Love teaches even asses to dance.
With enough 'ifs' we could put Paris into a bottle.
It is by believing in roses that one brings them to bloom.
