There is a person who, if he has done something good to his fellow man, is ready to pay his gratitude immediately. There are those who do not do this, but inwardly still consider the other a debtor, and are very aware of their good deeds. Others, on the other hand, do not consider what they have done at all, but are likened to a vine that produces a cluster, which, once it has borne its fruit, does not desire anything else. The benevolent man, like the horse when he ran, the dog when he came upon game, the bee when she gathered honey, does not beat his deed, but goes on with his blessed work, just as the vine, when the time is right, brings forth its fruit again. cluster.

Hungarian

"Van olyan ember, aki, ha embertársával jót tett, azonnal kész a hálát számlázni. Van olyan, aki ezt ugyan nem teszi meg, de azért befelé mégiscsak adósának tekinti a másikat, s nagyon is tudatában van jótéteményének. Más viszont egyáltalában nem tartja számon, amit tett, hanem hasonlatos a fürtöt termő szőlőtőhöz, mely ha egyszer meghozta gyümölcsét, semmi mást nem kíván többé. A jótékony ember, akárcsak a ló, ha futott, a kutya, ha vadra bukkant, a méh, ha mézet gyűjtött, nem veri dobra tettét, hanem tovább folytatja áldásos munkáját, mint ahogyan a szőlőtő, ha eljön az ideje, ismét meghozza a maga fürtjét."
