English (Source)

Every time the philosophers and poets go beyond and set aside some truth, view or principle, then slowly comes a king who is just now getting there, who just now considers this to be the latest and greatest, and thinks that he must act accordingly. .. Surely this is how things are with the kingdom! Kings are not only great people, they are also very mediocre people, always a few stations behind.

Valahányszor a filozófusok és költők valamilyen igazságot, nézetet vagy elvet túlhaladnak és félretesznek, akkor érkezik nagy lassan egy-egy király, aki épp most jut el idáig, aki most épp ezt tartja a legújabbnak és legjobbnak, és azt hiszi, hogy aszerint kell cselekednie... Bizony így áll a dolog a királysággal! A királyok nemcsak nagy emberek, sőt, nagyon is középszerű emberek, mindig elmaradnak néhány stációval.
