Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea, but if your rights as a rational being are trenched on, die on the first inch of your territory.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.

    Sei so wohltätig wie die Sonne oder das Meer, aber wenn deine Rechte als vernünftiges Wesen beeinträchtigt werden, stirb auf dem ersten Zentimeter deines Territoriums.

    sé tan benéfico como el sol o el mar, pero si tus derechos como ser racional están atrincherados, muere en la primera pulgada de tu territorio.

    bí chomh tairbheach leis an ngrian nó leis an bhfarraige, ach má chuirtear teannas ar do chearta mar neach réasúnach, faigh bás ar an gcéad orlach de do chríoch.

    太陽や海のように恩恵を受けますが、合理的な存在としてのあなたの権利が掘り下げられている場合は、あなたの領土の最初のインチで死にます。

    seja tão benéfico quanto o sol ou o mar, mas se seus direitos como um ser racional estão arraigados, morra na primeira polegada de seu território.

    будьте так же благотворны, как солнце или море, но если ваши права как разумного существа ущемлены, умрите на первом дюйме своей территории.

    سورج یا سمندر کی طرح احسان مند بنو، لیکن اگر ایک عقلی ہستی کے طور پر آپ کے حقوق سلب ہو جائیں تو اپنی سرزمین کے پہلے انچ پر ہی مر جائیں۔
