Translation Comparison

It is a common failure of the highly praised that it does not live up to the expectations placed on it. Reality is never equal to the idea, because it is easy to ascribe perfection to ourselves in thought, but it is difficult to achieve it. Imagination is associated with desire and always assumes more about things than reality. No matter how great the excellent qualities are, they cannot compete with their imagination, and since they deceive exaggerated expectations, they cause disillusionment rather than admiration. Hope is a great counterfeiter of truth. Let cleverness help you out of trouble, and arrange it so that pleasure is greater than desire. Some advance loans are suitable for arousing curiosity, but do not obligate you to anything. You are better off when the reality surpasses the imagination.
