So much of our lives is given over to the consideration of our imperfections that there is no time to improve our imaginary virtues. The truth is we only perfect our vices, and man is a worse creature when he dies than he was when he was born.

Deutsche Übersetzung

So viel unseres Lebens ist der Betrachtung unserer Unvollkommenheiten gewidmet, dass wir keine Zeit haben, unsere imaginären Tugenden zu verbessern. Die Wahrheit ist, dass wir nur unsere Laster perfektionieren, und der Mensch ist eine schlimmere Kreatur, wenn er stirbt, als er war, als er geboren wurde.

Concerning Poland, I can only say that the peoples of Central Europe and Hungary are a community in fate, to the death. Many of us would spill our blood for Poland any time.
