"To make the day go by faster, a little chatter is good. But this is the most useless way to spend time. If a tailor just holds a needle in his hand and chats with his customer all day, that suit will never be made. But you can even prick your finger in the process if you're not careful. One word is like a hundred, we often don't even notice how the day passed, why the work didn't go well. Pointless chatter is the death of all meaningful activity.

To make the day go by faster, a little chatter is good. But this is the most useless way to spend time. If a tailor just holds a needle in his hand and chats with his customer all day, that suit will never be made. But you can even prick your finger in the process if you're not careful. One word is like a hundred, we often don't even notice how the day passed, why the work didn't go well. Pointless chatter is the death of all meaningful activity.
""Hogy gyorsabban teljen a nap, jól jön egy kis fecsegés. Ám ez a leghaszontalanabb módja az időtöltésnek. Ha egy szabó egész nap csak tartja a tűt a kezében és a vevőjével fecseg, soha nem készül el az az öltöny. De még az ujját is megszúrhatja közben, ha nem vigyáz. Egy szó mint száz, gyakran észre se vesszük, mivel telt el a nap, miért nem ment a munka. Az értelmetlen locsogás minden értelmes tevékenység halála."
