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)
