Quote by Honoré de Balzac

← Back to Quote

English (Source)

He who boasts that he never changes his mind pretends to undertake to always follow a straight line. Such a person is single-minded, he believes in infallibility. And there are no principles, only events; there are no laws, only circumstances. The superior person accepts events and situations in order to control them. If there were solid principles and laws, peoples wouldn't change them like we change shirts. An individual is not obliged to be wiser than an entire nation.

Aki azzal dicsekszik, hogy sohasem vĂĄltoztatja meg a vĂ©lemĂ©nyĂ©t, az Ășgy tesz, mintha arra vĂĄllalkozna, hogy mindig nyĂ­legyenes vonalban fog haladni. EgyĂŒgyƱ az ilyen, hisz a csalhatatlansĂĄgban. MĂĄrpedig nincsenek elvek, csak esemĂ©nyek vannak; nincsenek törvĂ©nyek, csak körĂŒlmĂ©nyek vannak. A felsƑbbrendƱ ember elfogadja az esemĂ©nyeket Ă©s helyzeteket, hogy irĂĄnyĂ­thassa Ƒket. Ha volnĂĄnak szilĂĄrd elvek Ă©s törvĂ©nyek, a nĂ©pek nem vĂĄltogatnĂĄk azokat Ășgy, ahogy mi inget vĂĄltunk. Az egyĂ©n nem köteles bölcsebb lenni egy egĂ©sz nemzetnĂ©l.
