    Wie eine Geschichte, so ist das Leben nicht wichtig, wie lange es dauert, sondern wie gut es ist.

    As is a tale, so is life not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. Translated to Greek: Όπως είναι μια ιστορία, έτσι είναι και η ζωή: δεν έχει σημασία πόσο μακριά είναι, αλλά πόσο καλή είναι, αυτό μετράει.

    como es un cuento, la vida no es lo larga que es, sino lo buena que es, es lo que importa.

    comme c'est un conte, la vie n'est pas combien de temps elle dure, mais combien elle est bonne, c'est ce qui compte.

    seperti dongeng, begitu juga hidup bukan berapa lama, tetapi seberapa baik itu, yang penting.

    物語と同じように、人生もそれがどれほど長いのではなく、どれだけ良いのかが重要なのです。

    이야기와 마찬가지로 인생도 그렇게 오래 걸리지 않고 얼마나 좋은가가 중요합니다.

    Quomodo fabula, sic vita: non quam diu, sed quam bonus sit, refert.

    zoals een verhaal is, zo is het leven niet hoe lang het is, maar hoe goed het is, is waar het om gaat.

    jak opowieść, tak samo życie nie jest ważne, ale jak dobre jest to, co się liczy.

    așa cum este o poveste, la fel și viața nu este cât de lungă este, ci cât de bine este, ceea ce contează.

    Som en saga är livet inte hur långt det är, utan hur bra det är, det som betyder något.

    ஒரு கதையைப் போலவே, வாழ்க்கையும் எவ்வளவு காலம் அல்ல, ஆனால் அது எவ்வளவு நல்லது என்பது முக்கியமானது.

    masal olduğu gibi, hayat ne kadar uzun değil, ne kadar iyi olduğu da önemli.

    như là một câu chuyện, cuộc sống không phải là bao lâu, mà là nó tốt như thế nào, mới là điều quan trọng.

    就像一个故事一样,生命不重要,重要的是生命的长短。
