Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

    pamatujte nejen na to, abyste řekli správnou věc na správném místě, ale ještě mnohem obtížněji, abyste v lákavé chvíli nechali nevyřčenou špatnou věc.

    recuerda no solo decir lo correcto en el lugar correcto, sino mucho más difícil aún, no decir lo incorrecto en el momento tentador.

    N'oubliez pas non seulement de dire la bonne chose au bon endroit, mais bien plus difficile encore, de ne pas dire la mauvaise chose au moment opportun.

    याद रखें न केवल सही जगह पर सही बात कहना, बल्कि अभी भी मुश्किल है, बिना सोचे-समझे गलत काम को मोहक क्षण में छोड़ देना।

    ingat tidak hanya untuk mengatakan hal yang benar di tempat yang tepat, tetapi jauh lebih sulit lagi, untuk meninggalkan hal yang salah pada saat yang menggoda.

    ricordati non solo di dire la cosa giusta nel posto giusto, ma molto più difficile, di non dire la cosa sbagliata nel momento allettante.

    சரியான இடத்தில் சரியானதைச் சொல்வது மட்டுமல்லாமல், இன்னும் கடினமானதும், தவறான தருணத்தில் தூண்டப்படாத தருணத்தில் சொல்லாமல் இருப்பதை நினைவில் கொள்ளுங்கள்.

    記住,不僅要在正確的地方說出正確的事情,而且要更加困難,在誘人的時刻不要說錯話。
