We don’t look at the sun of truth, but we look at its effects. (Le soleil de la vérité - Ne se regarde, mes ses effets)

The river overflows, not the sun. (Déborde le fleuve, - Pas le soleil)

The silverware shines if the sun. (L'argenterie brille - Si le soleil.

More love lacks causes, more its effects fulfill them. (Et plus l'amour manque de causes, - Plus ses effets les remplissent)

The water shines only by the sun. And it is you who are my sun. (L'eau ne brille que par le soleil. - Et c’est toi qui es mon soleil.)

We are jealous our close neighbors, but not the sun and its care. (Nous jalousons nos proches voisins, - Mais pas le soleil et ses soins.) (From Fables 1, The Ant / La Fourmi)
