I'll tell you a big secret mon cher. Don't wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.

N'attendez pas le Jugement dernier. Il a lieu tous les jours.

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
