Default Re: Ask a frenchman

[ QUOTE ]
This is PERFECT. I posted in french BBV but no one respnded. There is a saying in french that goes something along the lines of "You can only lean on things which provide resistance" or something to that effect. What is the exact saying in the french language for the quote?

Hello there, I'd love to help but the french version didn't jump immediatly to my mind. It's probably not widely used. I then went through a few databases, but nothing of the sort emerged. Maybe you can help me by being a little more precise ? Do you remember any words from the saying ? What context did you hear it in ?
