Nowadays what isn't worth saying is sung.

(Aujourd'hui ce qui ne vaut pas la peine d'être dit, on le chante.)

That which is not worth speaking they sing. [Fr., Ce qui ne vaut pas la peine d'etre dit, on le chante.]

I grant men the land, the government, the wealth, all the chances. I accept that you have to hold all the cards, since that's the only way you know how to play; but I refuse to swallow your disrespect.

It is not necessary to retain facts that we may reason concerning them. [Fr., Il n'est pas necessaire de tenir les choses pour en raisonner.]

I hasten to laugh at everything, for fear of being obliged to weep. [Fr., Je me hate de me moquer de tous, de peur d'etre oblige d'en pleurer.]

Be commonplace and creeping, any you attain all things. [Fr., Mediocre et rampant, et l'on arrive a tout.]
