Citation

"De nos jours, la plupart des gens meurent d'une espèce de bon sens rampant et découvrent trop tard qu'il n'y a que les erreurs qu'on ne regrette jamais. Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, & discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes."

Oscar Wilde. Translation

Idiomes

En avril ne te découvre pas d'un fil; En Mai, fait ce qu'il te plait In April, don't uncover a stitch, In May, do as you please - (i.e. in May it's warmer, so you can wear less clothing!)
Translation
