    El hombre, siendo el sirviente e intérprete de la naturaleza, puede hacer y comprender tanto y tan solo como ha observado de hecho o al pensar en el curso de la naturaleza más allá de esto, ni sabe nada ni puede hacer nada.

    az ember, mivel a természet szolga és értelmezője, annyit tud megtenni és megérteni, és csak annyit, amennyit ténylegesen vagy gondolkodás közben megfigyelt a természet folyamata felett, semmit sem tud és semmit sem tud megtenni.

    l'uomo, essendo il servitore e l'interprete della natura, può fare e comprendere tanto e tanto solo come ha osservato di fatto o nel pensiero del corso della natura oltre questo, né sa nulla né può fare nulla.

    de mens, als dienaar en interpretator van de natuur, kan zoveel en zoveel alleen doen en begrijpen als hij in feite of in gedachten heeft gezien over de loop van de natuur daarbuiten, hij weet niets en kan niets doen.
