    feine Worte und eine unterstellte Erscheinung werden selten mit wahrer Tugend in Verbindung gebracht.

    les belles paroles et l'apparence insinuante sont rarement associées à la vraie vertu.

    ठीक शब्द और एक विनीत उपस्थिति शायद ही कभी सच पुण्य के साथ जुड़ा हुआ है।

    piękne słowa i sugestywny wygląd rzadko kojarzą się z prawdziwą cnotą.

    చక్కని పదాలు మరియు ఆకర్షణీయమైన రూపం నిజమైన ధర్మంతో అరుదుగా సంబంధం కలిగి ఉంటాయి.

    פיין ווערטער און אַ ינסיניוייטינג אויסזען זענען זעלטן פארבונדן מיט אמת מייַלע.

    好的话语和暗示的外观很少与真正的美德相关联。
