French Proverb

Adversity is the touchstone of friendship.

From word to deed is a great space.

Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day.

He that seeks trouble never misses.

Honey is sweet but bees sting.

Greedy eaters dig their graves with their teeth.

Anger is a bad counselor.

Better the foot slip than the tongue.

A crow is no whiter for being washed.

If the young only knew; if the old only could.

Everything passes, everything breaks, everything wearies.
