Robin Hood Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 "I'm telling you there's an enemy that would like to attack America, Americans, again. There just is. That's the reality of the world. And I wish him all the very best." - Washington, D.C., January 12, 2009 "Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for your introduction. Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit." — Addressing then-Australian Prime Minister John Howard at the APEC Summit, September 7, 2007. (Neither the USA nor Australia are members of OPEC.) There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk—that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras—it got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments." — Speaking at a private fundraiser and surreptitiously recorded by a reporter with the footage subsequently leaked on various news outlets, Houston, Texas, July 18, 2008 "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." - discussing the decline of the French economy with Tony Blair, 7 February 2002.

torontohopeful Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 "A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl." — Stephan Hoeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future_doc Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Il ne faut rien laisser au hasard. Leave nothing to chance. Il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Il vaut mieux être marteau qu'enclume. It's better to be a hammer than a nail. Impossible n'est pas français. There is no such word as "can't." Les jours se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas. There's no telling what tomorrow will bring. Un malheur ne vient jamais seul. When it rains, it pours! Le mieux est l'ennemi de bien. Let well enough alone. Mieux vaut plier que rompre. Adapt and survive. ("Better to bend than to break.") Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir. Prevention is better than cure. Mieux vaut tard que jamais. Better late than never. Les murs ont des oreilles. Walls have ears. Noël au balcon, Pâques aux tisons. A warm Christmas means a cold Easter. On ne fait pas d'omelette sans casser des œufs. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. On ne peut pas avoir le beurre et l'argent du beurre. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Quand le vin est tiré, il faut le boire. Once the first step is taken there's no going back. La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure. Might makes right. Rien ne sert de courir, il faut partir à point. Slow and steady wins the race. Si jeunesse savait, si vieillesse pouvait. Youth is wasted on the young. Tourner sept fois sa langue dans sa bouche to think long and hard before speaking. Tout est bien qui finit bien. All's well that ends well. Un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Vouloir, c'est pouvoir. Where there's a will, there's a way.
