Im Leben verdank man viel Glück und Unglück nur dem Zufall; aber der innere Frieden hängt nie vom Zufall ab
–
Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to change, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance
–
Dans la vie on doit beaucoup à la chance ou à la malchance; mais la paix intéreure ne dépend jamais du hasard
