parlez-vous le français ?

[fairytale dreamer]

So I was away in Paris last week and I spotted this written on a wall. Now, my french is very very limited and well, I can't understand it. I tried translation websites but I can't read half of the words anyway which isn't helping my case. So.. if you're good at reading handwriting, and know French.. please help me translate this.



Merci!

i got the words 'important' and 'possession'

im helpful i know!

[shadow-light]

hmm... got some of it...


among the something of which wisdom provides itself visible something of life completely of something more important is the possession of the something

lol


will go look up the other words now

[xXMessedUpXx]

roughly i've got

among the *don't know* whose wisdom is provided for the *don't know* with the life all *don't know* of *don't know* most important is the possession of *don't know*

edit: ahh ya beat me to it!

[fairytale dreamer]

Lol, cheers Charlie!
And Paris is amazing! I want to go back.

This is what I'm reading..
Parmi les ehoses dont la sagesse se munit em vue del la félieite de la rie tout entiere, de beaucoyn la plus importante est la ipossession de l'amitié

And using a translator I get this:
Among the ehoses which wisdom takes within sight del the félieite of the laughing any entiere, of beaucoyn the most important is the ipossession of friendship.

The words in red are wrong, not spelt correctly or I just can't read the handwriting.

[shadow-light]

ok...

among the studies of which wisdom provides itself visible something of life completely by far the most important one is the friendship possession


though I obviously didn't bother to alter the word-order from the french lol

[shadow-light]

I got "parmi les études dont la sagesse se munit en vue dél la lelièvre de la vie tout entiere de beaucoup la plus importante est la possession de l'amitié"


but think got "dél la lelièvre" wrong as can't figure out what it could mea.n..

[Intaytia]

i got "Parmi les choses dont la sagesse se munit en vue de la félicité de la vie tout entière, de beaucoup la plus importante est la possession de l'amitié" - its a quote (well, yes thats why it was there - lol ignore me) this wont be perfect english but here we go..


Among the things whose wisdom is provided for the happiness with the very whole life, of much most important is the possession of the friendship

[squirrelspit]

i got...

among things of which wisdom, take within sight of the *something* of life. any *something* of the most importance is the possession of friendship.

[squirrelspit]

bittersweet kiss... i think you win!

[shadow-light]

Ooo de la félicité that makes more sense than what I read lol

[fairytale dreamer]

ah you people are awesome!

Thank you very much =]
I really appeciate it.

[Isoverity]

It's a quote from philosopher Epicurus

"Parmi les choses dont la sagesse se munit en vue de la félicité de la vie tout entière, de beaucoup la plus importante est la possession de l'amitié."

"Of the means which wisdom requires to ensure happiness throughout the whole of life by far the most important is friendship"

[Casper_Fading]

Go Jack! That makes lots of sense :)

[Master Of Deceit]

Simply put, it says that friendship is the most important thing.
