Ne cherche pas midi a quatorze heures!

Ne cherche pas midi a quatorze heures... meaning "Don't overcomplicate things." Literally it really means don't look for noon at 2 o'clock. Nice phrase.. how they get from the time to the phrase of overcomplication, who knows. However, it's a great phrase that was on my french calendar today and it rings true for many things. In fact, it should be a national motto. Just like Keep it simple, stupid- in laymans terms. Well i guess i could keep rambling on about this, but I am not one for discussing politics, at least not in this arena, so I will cease this topic. But remember the phrase; it's a good one.
