"With those whom we know only half we are the same as with strangers; what we only know three-quarters of, we do not really know at all. These two observations are enough for us to rightly appreciate almost all conversations between people.

With those whom we know only half we are the same as with strangers; what we only know three-quarters of, we do not really know at all. These two observations are enough for us to rightly appreciate almost all conversations between people.
"Romanian
"Cu cei pe care îi cunoaștem doar pe jumtătate suntem la fel ca și cu necunoscuții; ceea ce știm doar de trei sferturi, nu știm, de fapt, deloc. Aceste două constatări ne sunt suficiente pentru a aprecia pe bună dreptate aproape toate conversațiile dintre oameni."
