"

We were not born for (...) what our short-sighted eyes see as our own, small, individual happiness, because we are not scattered, independent individuals existing on our own, but like the eyes of a chain, and the way we are, we would not be able to think of a series of them without those who were before us and showed us that way, themselves with rigor, neither looking to the right nor to the left, following the proven and respectable tradition.

Hungarian

"Nem azért születtünk, (...) amit rövidlátó szemünk saját, kisded, egyéni boldogságunknak lát, mert nem elszórt, egymástól független, önmagunkban létező egyének vagyunk, hanem miként a láncnak szemei, és úgy, ahogyan vagyunk, nem volnánk elgondolhatók azoknak a sora nélkül, akik előttünk voltanak, és nekünk azt az utat megmutatták, jómaguk is szigorral, se jobbra, se balra nem nézve, a kipróbált tiszteletre méltó hagyományt követvén."
