Ich las in einem Buch, der beste Mann Sei, wer sich für den größten Sünder hält — Das heißt der Mensch der, fliehend vor der Welt, Aus lauter Glauben nicht mehr denken kann.
Gefühlsbetonung glückt bei manchen Leuten — Nur Geistesschärfe kann zur Wahrheit leiten. Ein jeder sucht auf seine Weis die Gnad — Die Wahrheitsliebe ist der höchste Pfad.

J’ai lu dans un livre que le meilleur homme Est celui qui se prend pour le plus grand pécheur — Cela signifie l’homme qui, fuyant devant le monde, Par foi pure et simple ne sait plus penser.
L’accentuation sentimentale réussit chez maintes gens — Seule l’acuité intellectuelle peut mener à la Vérité. Chacun cherche la grâce à sa façon — L’amour de la Vérité est la suprême Voie.

Der Vogel Strauß in der Wüsten Land Steckt eilig, so heißt es, den Kopf in der Sand Wenn einer ihm nachläuft; ob wahr oder nicht, Es ist nicht nur Torheit in dieser Geschicht.
Denn wir auch, wir Menschen — wohl diesmal mit Recht? Entgehn im Nichtsdenken dem eitlen Gefecht Mit leidiger Umwelt. Denn lieber nichts spüren, Als wegen des Weltlärms den Kopf zu verlieren.

L’autruche dans la contrée des déserts S’empresse de cacher, dit-on, sa tête dans le sable Quand on la poursuit ; vrai ou non, Il n’y a pas que sottise dans cette histoire.
Car nous aussi, les hommes — avec raison cette fois ? Echappons dans la non-pensée au vain combat Avec la fâcheuse ambiance. Car mieux vaut ne rien sentir, Que perdre la tête à cause du vacarme du monde.
