• n’oublie pas de vivre

“Don’t forget to live.”

• la vie en rose

“Life in pink.” This means to see the brighter side of life only, that is, seeing it through a rose-tinted view. Some people might see that as a negative, but not certainly so.

• l’amour et l’amitié

“Love and friendship.”

• L’amour est la poésie des sens.

“Love is the poetry of the senses,” is a great quote by the author, Honoré de Balzac.

• qui cherche trouve

This is a Christian one: “Seek and ye shall find.” (Matthew 7:7).

• Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît pas.

“The heart has its reasons, of which reason knows nothing.” You will be amazed to know who is the author of this quote. Well, it is written by the mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal. It’s no excuse for immoral behavior, of course, but a sanction that seldom you have to follow your heart.

• Voyager, c’est vivre.

“To travel is to live.”

• Sois belle á ta façon.

“Be beautiful in your own way.”

• Je passe quand même

“I pass, anyway.” This quote will suit the ones who feel invincible.

• belle âme

“Beautiful soul.”

• Qui n’avance pas, recule.

“If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward.” Isn’t it so true because in life, we are always learning and hence advancing to a better life?

• ce que femme veut, Dieu le veut.

“What woman wants, God wants.”

• C’est cela l’amour, tout donner, tout sacrifier sans espoir de retour.

This is a quote from Albert Camus: “That’s love, to give away all, to sacrifice all, without the desire to get anything in return.” It’s a very passionate and noble predilection (and one with Christian connotations, too.)

• Créer, c’est vivre deux fois.

“To create is to live twice.” This inspirational quote is also written by Albert Camus.

• toujours debout

“Always standing,” or “Still standing”. This is a good note for someone who’s a derelict.
