French
Depuis que je suis fatigué de chercher
J’ai appris à trouver.
Depuis qu’un vent s’est opposé à moi
Je navigue avec tous les vents.


German
Seit ich des Suchens müde ward,
Erlernte ich das Finden.
Seit mir ein Wind hielt Widerpart,
Segl’ ich mit allen Winden.

I do not seek, I find.

Destiny beats the cards but we will play them.

Don't demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well.

Beware of spitting against the wind!

Meet the time as it seeks us.

Fate shuffles the cards and we play.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.


We don't choose the things that happen to us, but we can choose how we react to them.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche also said...




Let it not be your honor henceforth whence you come, but where you go!





The best way to begin each day well is to think upon awakening whether we could not give at least one person pleasure on this day.





All of us harbour in ourselves hidden gardens and plantations;





Become who you are!





He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.”
