"A man who knows how little he knows is well, A man who knows how much he knows is sick. If, when you see the symptoms, you can tell, Your cure is quick. A sound man knows that sickness makes him sick And before he catches it his cure is quick."

"A man who knows how little he knows is well, A man who knows how much he knows is sick. If, when you see the symptoms, you can tell, Your cure is quick. A sound man knows that sickness makes him sick And before he catches it his cure is quick."

Hungarian

"Ha valaki tudja, hogy nem tudja, Ez helyes. Ha valaki nem tudja, de állítja, hogy tudja, Ez beteges. A bölcs nem beteg, Mert betegségnek látja a betegséget. Csak aki betegségnek látja a betegséget, Az nem beteg."

Russian

"Тот, кто знает, что он не знает, - превосходен. Тот, кто не знает, что он знает, - недужен. Но ведь тот, кто недужит свой недуг, - тот вовсе не недужен. Совершенный мудрец не недужен, он недужит недуг свой и поэтому не недужен."
