    Wenn die Arbeit ein Vergnügen ist, ist das Leben eine Freude, wenn die Arbeit eine Pflicht ist, ist das Leben Sklaverei.

    जब काम एक खुशी है, जीवन एक खुशी है जब काम एक कर्तव्य है, जीवन गुलामी है।

    ketika bekerja adalah kesenangan, hidup adalah sukacita ketika bekerja adalah kewajiban, hidup adalah perbudakan.
