As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.

    जैसा कि हमें प्रत्येक निष्क्रिय शब्द के लिए होना चाहिए, वैसे ही हमें प्रत्येक निष्क्रिय मौन के लिए भी खाता होना चाहिए।

    ಪ್ರತಿ ನಿಷ್ಫಲ ಪದಕ್ಕೂ ನಾವು ಕಾರಣವಾಗಬೇಕು, ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಾವು ಪ್ರತಿ ನಿಷ್ಫಲ ಮೌನಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಬೇಕು.

    모든 게으른 말을 설명해야하므로 모든 게으른 침묵도 설명해야합니다.

    جیسا کہ ہمیں ہر بیکار لفظ کا محاسبہ کرنا ہے ، اسی طرح ہمیں ہر بیکاری خاموشی کا محاسبہ کرنا چاہئے۔

    我们必须对每一个空洞的言语负责，同样，我们也必须对每一个空洞的沉默负责。
