Love, proclaim and confess the truth, the small and great truths, the truths of the ordinary days and the fateful moments, always, courageously and without fear. But it doesn't hurt to smile quietly at the same time: at yourself, at the truth.

For truth is constant and unchanging, like the great laws of nature. But you, the man who believes and confesses the truth, are neither constant nor unchanging. Even the weather can change your intentions, even a snowfall can divert you from the path set by divine command, even a woman can affect you: such is your changeableness. What can you hope for yourself?... Proclaim the truth, but it doesn't hurt to smile sometimes.

Szeresd, hirdesd és valld meg az igazságot, a kis és nagy igazságot, a köznapok és a végzetes percek igazságait, mindig, bátran és félelem nélkül. De nem árt, ha közben csendesen mosolyogsz is: magadon is, az igazságon is.

Mert az igazság állandó és változatlan, mint a természet nagy törvényei. De te, az ember, aki hiszel az igazságban és megvallod azt, nem vagy állandó, sem változatlan. Már az időjárás is megváltoztatja szándékaid, már a hóesés is eltérít az isteni parancs által kijelölt útról, már egy nő is hatással tud lenni reád: ilyen változékony vagy. Mit is remélhetsz önmagadtól?... Hirdesd az igazságot, de nem árt, ha néha mosolyogsz közben.

Iubește, proclamă și mărturisește adevărul, micile și marile adevăruri, adevărurile zilelor obișnuite și ale momentelor fatidice, întotdeauna, cu curaj și fără teamă. Dar nu strică să zâmbești liniștit în același timp: la tine însuți, la adevăr.

Pentru că adevărul este constant și neschimbător, precum marile legi ale naturii. Dar tu, omul care crede și mărturisește adevărul, nu ești nici constant, nici neschimbător. Chiar și vremea îți poate schimba intențiile, chiar și o ninsoare te poate abate de la calea stabilită prin poruncă divină, chiar și o femeie te poate afecta: astfel este caracterul tău schimbător. Ce poți spera pentru tine?... Proclamați adevărul, dar nu strică să zâmbești uneori.
