    ne surmenons pas nos capacités, ou nous ne ferons rien avec grâce. un clown, quoi qu'il fasse, ne passera jamais pour un gentleman.

    हमें अपनी क्षमताओं से आगे नहीं बढ़ने देना चाहिए, या हम अनुग्रह के साथ कुछ नहीं करेंगे। एक जोकर, जो कुछ भी वह कर सकता है, वह एक सज्जन व्यक्ति के लिए कभी नहीं होगा।

    آئیں ہم اپنی صلاحیتوں کو بڑھاوا نہ دیں ، یا ہم فضل کے ساتھ کچھ نہیں کریں گے۔ ایک جوکر ، جو کچھ بھی وہ کرسکتا ہے ، شریف آدمی کے لئے کبھی نہیں گزرے گا۔
