How ridiculous the behavior of people! They regret the praise of their contemporaries, but how much they value it when their descendants praise them: the descendants they have not seen and will never see! It's almost like you're complaining that your predecessors didn't sing your praises.

"

Hungarian

"Milyen nevetséges az emberek magatartása! A velük egy időben élő kortársaktól sajnálják a dicséretet, de milyen nagyra tartják, ha az utódok dicsérik őket: az utódok, akiket nem láttak, és soha nem látnak! Ez majdnem olyan, mintha azon búsulnál, hogy az elődök nem zengtek rólad dicshimnuszt."
