Es führen über die Erde
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Es führen über die Erde]1 Straßen und Wege viel, Aber alle haben Dasselbe Ziel. Du kannst reiten und fahren Zu zweien und zu drein, Den letzten Schritt mußt du Gehen allein. Drum ist kein Wissen [Noch]2 Können so gut, Als daß man alles Schwere Alleine tut.

A la terra ens menen
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
A la terra ens menen molts carrers i camins però tots tenen el mateix destí. Tu pots cavalcar o conduir a dos o a tres, el darrer pas però l’hauràs de fer tot sol. Per tant, no hi ha cap coneixement ni cap habilitat tan valuosa com saber que les coses difícils les has de fer tot sol.
