You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this, or the like of this.

    Tu dois vivre dans le présent, te lancer sur chaque vague, trouver ton éternité dans chaque instant. Les fous restent sur leur île d'opportunités et regardent vers une autre terre. Il n'y a pas d'autre terre; il n'y a pas d'autre vie que celle-ci, ou de ce genre.

    A jelenben kell élned, szörfölj minden hullámon, találd meg örökkévalóságodat minden pillanatban. Bolondok az szigetükön állnak és más ország felé néznek. Nincs más ország; nincs más élet csak ez, vagy ehhez hasonló.
