French Phrases for Decorating a Bathroom with Calligraphy

I am redecorating a bathroom and am going with a French theme. I will be writing in calligraphy French phrases. Does anyone know of any cute/quaint phrases that I could paint on the walls? I haven't found any useful websites!

You could always call your local high school and ask to speak to the french teacher.
I have noticed that internet translations don't always come out correctly when using Spanish, so I would double check everything before applying to the wall.

FreeTranslation.com-put in your own phrases and set the translator 'English-French'.

You could try the Google Translate page to translate some English phrases into French. http://www.google.com/translate/

For example, I translated "Brush your teeth" into "Brossez-vous les dents".

I usually like to translate the phrase back to English as well to make sure that the translation is using the right sense of the words. Translating this phrase back to English yields "You brush the teeth" which is probably okay.

If you are looking for literary quotes you might do better searching for specific authors like Moliere, Alexander Dumas, or Victor Hugo.
