Where did Rhett Butler say he was going at the end of 'Gone With the Wind'?
Rhett Butler did not say where he was going at the end of the book or the movie "Gone with the Wind." He was busy saying to Scarlett O'Hara, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," to her question, "Where will I go, what will I do?" However, our forever strong and determined Scarlett answered her own question by saying, "Tara. I'll go home to Tara, and there I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day."
When Scarlett finally realized that she loved Rhett and told him that she was sorry, he told her that all she thought she ever had to do to set things right was to say she was sorry. She told him that she loved him, and he said, "Then we're at cross-purposes, my dear. Any love can wear out." Scarlett realized that she loved Rhett at about the time his love for her had finally been crushed.
We saw no more of Scarlett and Rhett, for that was the end of the book and of the movie. After the recent death of Melanie Wilkes, whom Rhett respected, he cared no more for Atlanta since there was no one there whom he continued to love. In neither the book nor the movie did he say where he intended to go when he left Scarlett.
Since Rhett's home was Charleston, and his mother and other family members were still living there, we can assume that it was Charleston for which he headed. And, as Scarlett's mumbled plans would have it, she also had relatives in Charleston, who would be happy for her to pay a visit.
Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone with the Wind," left it there for us to visualize our own stories, but how can we not imagine that Scarlett managed to track Rhett down in Charleston, and with her tiny waist and beautiful new clothes, manage to charm him back into her waiting arms and scheming plans.

What is the English translation of the Latin phrase 'Re vera cara mea mea nil refert'?
"In truth, my dear, that has nothing to do with me" is one of many loosely translated English equivalents of the urban Latin phrase Re vera, cara mea, mea nil refert.
Specifically, the feminine noun re in its ablative form is "thing". The feminine adjective vera means "true". The feminine adjective cara means "dear". The feminine possessive adjective mea means "my". The indeclinable nil means "nothing". The verb refert literally translates as "bears, brings back".
The phrase is a rendering into Latin of the last sentence which Rhett Butler says to Scarlett O'Hara in the novel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (November 8, 1900-August 16, 1949).
That is your misfortune
What is Rhett Butler famous for?
Rhett Butler is an important character in the 1939 classic movie, "Gone With the Wind." The role was played by Clark Gable, who spoke a famous (and at the time, very controversial) line to Scarlett O'Hara, near the end of the film: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." While that does not sound very controversial today, movies in the 1920s and 1930s never used any bad language, not even something as mild as "damn." There were some real questions as to whether the film would be released unless that line were removed. But the producers stood their ground and the public loved the movie exactly as it was.
