    Wer über ein Ereignis verzweifelt, ist ein Feigling, aber wer Hoffnung auf die menschliche Verfassung hat, ist ein Dummkopf.

    celui qui désespère d'un événement est un lâche, mais celui qui a de l'espoir pour la condition humaine est un imbécile.

    वह जो किसी घटना से निराश होता है, वह कायर होता है, लेकिन वह जो मानवीय स्थिति के लिए आशा रखता है, वह मूर्ख है।

    chi si dispera per un evento è un vigliacco, ma chi nutre speranza per la condizione umana è uno sciocco.

    사건에 절망하는 사람은 겁쟁이이지만 인간의 조건에 대한 희망을 가진 사람은 어리석은 사람입니다.

    ten, kto gardzi zdarzeniem, jest tchórzem, ale ten, kto ma nadzieję na ludzką kondycję, jest głupcem.
