Wisdom & Quotes

  • La vie est vaine:
Un peu d'amour,
Un peu de haine,
Et puis - bonjour!

La vie est breve:
Un peu d'espoir,
Un peu de reve,
Et puis - bon soir!

(Life is aimless: a little love, a little hate, and then - good day!
Life is short: a little hope; a little dreaming, and then - good night!)
- Peu de chose

Elbert Hubbard
