"Suffering is to man what washing is to clothes. The clothes are exposed to cold, soaked, scalded, beaten, alkalized, punched, squeezed, dried, rolled, ironed with a hot iron, until they are finally clean. Earthly sufferings are like that too.

Suffering is to man what washing is to clothes. The clothes are exposed to cold, soaked, scalded, beaten, alkalized, punched, squeezed, dried, rolled, ironed with a hot iron, until they are finally clean. Earthly sufferings are like that too.
"Hungarian
"A szenvedés az az embernek, ami a ruhának a mosás. A ruhát hidegbe vetik, sulykolják, forrázzák, csapkodják, lúgozzák, öklözik, facsarják, szárítják, mángorolják, tüzes vassal is egyengetik, míg végre megtisztul. A földi szenvedések is ilyenek."
