"Qui dort dîne" is a French proverb meaning that sleeping allows one to forget hunger, essentially stating that sleeping replaces a meal. It implies that if you are too tired to eat or have nothing to eat, sleeping is a productive alternative. It is often used to describe bypassing a meal for rest.

Felix peccatum Adae (or felix culpa) is a Latin phrase meaning "O happy fault" or "fortunate sin of Adam," referring to the theological paradox that Adam's fall necessitated the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Sung during the Catholic Easter Vigil's Exsultet, it signifies that the fall brought greater grace and a better redemption than if Adam had never sinned. p. 121
