    Ich habe mein ganzes Leben lang versucht, eine Distel zu pflücken und eine Blume dort zu pflanzen, wo die Blume in Gedanken und Gedanken wachsen würde.

    όλη μου τη ζωή προσπάθησα να μαζέψω ένα γαϊδουράγκαθο και να φυτέψω ένα λουλούδι όπου το λουλούδι θα μεγαλώνει στη σκέψη και στο μυαλό μου.

    Toda mi vida he tratado de arrancar un cardo y plantar una flor donde sea que la flor crezca en pensamiento y mente.

    Toute ma vie, j'ai essayé de cueillir un chardon et de planter une fleur partout où la fleur pousserait dans la pensée et l'esprit.

    मेरे सारे जीवन में मैंने सोचा था कि जहाँ भी फूल विचार और मन में विकसित होगा, वहाँ एक थाल चढ़ाना और एक फूल लगाना होगा।

    egész életemben megpróbáltam bogáncsot szaggatni és virágot ültetni, bárhova is nőne a virág gondolatban és elmében.

    per tutta la vita ho cercato di spennare un cardo e piantare un fiore ovunque il fiore crescesse nei pensieri e nella mente.

    כל חיי ניסיתי לקטוף גדילן ולשתול פרח בכל מקום שהפרח יצמח במחשבה ובמוח.

    내 평생 나는 엉겅퀴를 뽑아 꽃이 생각과 마음에서 자랄 때마다 꽃을 심 으려고했습니다.

    przez całe życie próbowałem zerwać osty i zasadzić kwiat wszędzie tam, gdzie w myślach i umysłach kwiat miał rosnąć.

    toată viața mea am încercat să smulg un ciulin și să plantez o floare oriunde floarea ar crește în gând și în minte.

    tüm hayatım boyunca bir devedikeni koparmaya ve çiçeğin düşünce ve akılda yetişeceği yere bir çiçek dikmeye çalıştım.

    trong suốt cuộc đời tôi, tôi đã cố gắng nhổ một cây kế và trồng một bông hoa ở bất cứ nơi nào mà bông hoa sẽ mọc trong suy nghĩ và tâm trí.

    我一生都在嘗試拔薊,在花朵會在思想和思想上成長的地方種一朵花。
