People pursue wealth and power, acquire knowledge and property, beget sons and daughters, build houses and palaces. But no matter what they achieve, they are not satisfied. Those who live in poverty dream of wealth. He who has a million wants two. He who has two, ten. Even the rich and famous are rarely satisfied. They too are constantly haunted by worries and fears, until illness, old age and death bring them the bitter end. Everything that man has accumulated disappears like smoke. Life is a meaningless rush in the squirrel's wheel.

Hungarian

"Az emberek a vagyont és a hatalmat hajszolják, tudást és tulajdont szereznek, fiúkat és lányokat nemzenek, házakat és palotákat építenek. De akármit érnek is el, mégsem elégedettek. Akik szegénységben élnek, gazdagságról álmodnak. Akinek egymilliója van, kettőt akar. Akinek kettő van, tízet. Még a gazdagok és híresek is csak ritkán elégedettek. Őket is szakadatlanul kísértik a gondok és félelmek, míg a betegség, az öregkor és a halál el nem hozza nekik a keserű véget. Minden, amit az ember felhalmozott, eltűnik, akár a füst. Az élet értelmetlen rohanás a mókuskerékben."
