"

The world has come to a point where wisdom and decency are opposed to each other, and whoever chooses one must renounce the other. It doesn't lead to anything good if someone worries so much. Because it is written that "But let your speech be, thus, thus; no, no; above this something falls, it is from the evil one." (...) That's how it is; one is either smart or honest; the two don't go together.

Hungarian

"Oda jutott a világ, hogy szemben áll egymással okosság és tisztesség, és aki az egyiket választja, annak le kell mondania a másikról. Nem vezet az semmi jóra, ha valaki olyan nagyon sokat töri a fejét. Mert meg vagyon írva, hogy "Hanem a ti beszédetek légyen, úgy, úgy; nem, nem; ennek felette valami esik, az a gonosztól vagyon." (...) Így van ez; vagy okos az ember, vagy tisztességes; a kettő együtt nem megy."
