One of man's great misfortunes is that sometimes even his merits are of no use to him, and the art of managing and using them judiciously is gained only by experience, often too late.
"Romanian
"Una dintre nenorocirile mari ale omului constă în faptul că, uneori, chiar și meritele sale nu-i sunt de folos, iar arta de a le gestiona și de a le folosi cu chibzuință se câștigă doar prin experiență, adeseori târzie."
