"We feel pain, but not painlessness; we feel care but not carelessness, fear but not certainty. The three greatest goods of life: health, youth and freedom, that's why we don't even feel them while we have them, but only after we've lost them... We only realize that some days of our life were happy, only after they gave way to unhappy days.

We feel pain, but not painlessness; we feel care but not carelessness, fear but not certainty. The three greatest goods of life: health, youth and freedom, that's why we don't even feel them while we have them, but only after we've lost them... We only realize that some days of our life were happy, only after they gave way to unhappy days.
""Érezzük a fájdalmat, de nem a fájdalmatlanságot; érezzük a gondot, de nem a gondtalanságot, a félelmet, de nem a biztosságot. Az élet három legnagyobb javát: az egészséget, fiatalságot és szabadságot, ezért nem is érezzük, ameddig birtokukban vagyunk, hanem csak miután elvesztettük... Hogy éltünk néhány napja boldog volt, csak akkor vesszük észre, miután boldogtalan napoknak adtak helyet."
