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.
When a man begins to reason he ceases to feel.
The worst is not always certain but it's very likely.
We must learn from life how to suffer it.
Gratitude is the heart's memory.
A good meal ought to begin with hunger.
The price spoils the pleasure.
No one is expected to achieve the impossible.
Between two stools one sits on the ground.
Whoever profits by the crime is guilty of it.
Everything passes everything wears out everything breaks.(Tout passe tout lasse tout casse.)
Love teaches even asses to dance.
A white wall is the fool's paper.
It is by believing in roses that one brings them to bloom.
