Friday Phrase 14

How do you suppose that All roads lead to Rome? Well, they used to! Even the tiniest roads lead to a bigger road (and maybe an even bigger road) that lead to Rome. These days this fine phrase is used when we want to tell that it is okay to make your own, different decisions about a matter since in the end it will all be fine - you will be where you want to be, where you need to be. For Kaikki tiet vievät Roomaan. Kõik teed viivad Rooma. Believe it.
