A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.
~ French Proverb
Only he who does nothing makes no mistakes.
It is by believing in roses that one brings them to bloom.
The worst is not always certain but it's very likely.
Travellers from afar can lie with impunity.
One can go a long way after one is tired.
We must learn from life how to suffer it.
No one is expected to achieve the impossible.
Nothing is so burdensome as a secret.
To turn an obstacle to one's advantage is a great step towards victory.
