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