A person must toil, work with the sweat of his brow, whoever he is, and only in this is the meaning and purpose of life, the happiness and beauty of man. How beautiful is the life of the worker who gets up at dawn and breaks stones on the road, or the shepherd or the teacher who teaches children, or the train driver on the railway... My God, how much more is not only the person who works, but the bastard too, the draft horse too, like that young woman who wakes up at noon, then drinks coffee in bed, then spends two hours getting dressed!

Hungarian

"Az embernek fáradnia kell, dolgoznia kell arca verejtékével, akárki is az, és csak ebben van az élet értelme és célja, az ember boldogsága és gyönyörűsége. Milyen szép az élete a munkásnak, aki virradatkor felkel, és az úton követ tör, vagy a pásztornak vagy a tanárnak, aki gyereket tanít, vagy a mozdonyvezetőnek a vasúton... Istenem, mennyivel többet ér nem csak az ember, aki dolgozik, hanem a barom is, az igavonó ló is, mint az a fiatalasszony, aki délben ébred, aztán az ágyban kávézik, aztán két óra hosszat öltözködik!"
