    μην χαλάσετε αυτό που έχετε, επιθυμώντας αυτό που δεν έχετε. αλλά να θυμάστε ότι αυτό που έχετε τώρα ήταν κάποτε μεταξύ των πραγμάτων που ελπίζατε μόνο.

    no estropees lo que tienes deseando lo que no tienes; pero recuerda que lo que tienes ahora fue una de las cosas que solo esperabas.

    जो आपके पास नहीं है उसकी इच्छा करके आपका कुछ न बिगाड़ें; लेकिन याद रखें कि अब जो आपके पास है वह उन चीजों में से एक है, जिनकी आपको केवल उम्मीद थी।

    spoliare cupientem te non habere quod non habent; quae iam olim ad meminerim solum res speranda.
