Sagesse - Carpe Diem

On the side of a bus this reminder to Seize the Day! Never a better idea than on a day in Paris.

Sagesse - St Vincent de Paul

"The poor are our masters." Saint Vincent de Paul was a Catholic Priest who devoted his life to serving the poor. He was canonized in 1737.

This quote reminds me of the more famous Ghandi quote, "A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members."

Sagesse - For Families

This was posted in one of the many churches we ventured into while walking across the city. "To build a family, it is important to evolve together, to move forward together, to come together."

Sagesse - From Andy Warhol

I have always found the city of Paris to be a deep well from which much can be gleaned about how best to live. On this trip in particular I saw words of wisdom all around me (and sometimes just words). This week, Wisdom from Paris.

And today from Andy Warhol this gem: "I broke something today and I realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is." Only the French would think to put this wisdom on a ceramic cup, so easily broken.
