REAL TRUE COUPLET

Putting words on paper does not make a poet, Writing a recipe does not make a cake. Knowing how to comment on football does not make a coach. Reading just one book does not make an intellectual... Saying yes and love, oui and amour does not make a polyglot, Knowing how to paint a picture badly does not make a painter, Putting a band-aid on someone does not make a healer, Heating water and cooking pasta does not make a chef, Being half-informed does not make someone an expert, Knowing several things and subjects does not make a wise man, Being white does not give any privileges, Loving women does not make a 'womanizer', Stealing a kiss does not make a thief, Filling out your income tax form incorrectly does not make you a crook, Killing sleep does not make someone a scoundrel, Taking a nap does not make you lazy either, Knowing how to speak well does not make you a loudmouth, Knowing how to live with art, it's not a farce...!
