PHOTOS/OTTAWA: Some Church Messaging in 2011

[dewline]

Used to be that the St. John the Evangelist Church on Elgin Street had these two signs out front. They'd regularly change up those signs, often lettered in a matter very familiar to customers of the now-lost Honest Ed's store in Mirvish Village in Toronto.

A couple of people recently faved this one, originally taken and uploaded back in February 2011. I still don't know what the French one said, but the English one seems pretty blessedly clear. More so nowadays, nine years later.

The French one, roughly translated:

“Dream alone, and it’s only a dream; dream with others, and it’s already the start of reality.”

Merci, beaucoup!

You beat me to it! :o)

I would use "When one dreams with others", the conditional seems important to the phrase.

Good point.

Definitely, thank you for sharing.

Yeah, that left one is the model for all gov't austerity programs, ever. "Suffering is good for you, even if we the creators of the program don't have to suffer along with you."
