People of a voracious nature, boasting that they understand thunder, and are equally capable of everything; the enormous scope of their abilities for adventures is usually expressed by the saying that they are "head or write", they know everything from games to murder; and between these two opposite extremes there is indeed a rather long and encompassing line of things.

Hungarian

"Hányaveti természetű emberek, akik azzal dicsekszenek, hogy értik a dörgést, és mindenre egyformán alkalmasak; kalandokra való képességeik óriási terjedelmét azzal a szólással szokták kifejezni, hogy ők a "fej vagy írás", játéktól az emberölésig mindenhez értenek; s e két ellentétes véglet között valóban meglehetősen hosszú és sokat magában foglaló sora van a dolgoknak."
