Quotes
- Ember vagy; majd por lészesz; valahány napot éltél,
Annyival indultál a temetődre közelb.- You are human; you will become dust; as many days as you have lived, you are so much nearer to your grave.
- Man thou art; dust thou'lt be;
Each day only bringest thee
Nearer to the cemetery. - Nem kímíl meg senkit halál (wr. 1786; ed. 1914)
