    Der Geist, der einmal von einer neuen Idee gestreckt wurde, gewinnt nie wieder seine ursprünglichen Dimensionen.

    το μυαλό κάποιου, όταν τεντωθεί από μια νέα ιδέα, δεν ξαναβρεί τις αρχικές του διαστάσεις.

    onia menso, iam streĉita de nova ideo, neniam reakiras siajn originajn dimensiojn.

    la mente de uno, una vez estirada por una nueva idea, nunca recupera sus dimensiones originales.

    l'esprit, une fois étendu par une nouvelle idée, ne retrouve jamais ses dimensions d'origine.

    किसी के दिमाग में एक बार एक नए विचार का विस्तार होता है, जो कभी भी अपने मूल आयामों को प्राप्त नहीं करता है।

    מוחו של האדם, שנמתח על ידי רעיון חדש, לעולם אינו חוזר לממדיו המקוריים.

    新しいアイデアにひとたび引き延ばされた心は、元の大きさを取り戻すことはありません。

    iemands geest, eenmaal uitgerekt door een nieuw idee, herwint nooit zijn oorspronkelijke afmetingen.

    umysł, raz rozciągnięty przez nową ideę, nigdy nie odzyskuje swoich pierwotnych wymiarów.

    a mente de alguém, uma vez esticada por uma nova idéia, nunca recupera suas dimensões originais.

    ఒకరి మనస్సు, ఒకసారి కొత్త ఆలోచనతో విస్తరించి, దాని అసలు కొలతలు తిరిగి పొందదు.

    一旦有了新主意,一個人的思想就永遠無法恢復其原始尺寸。
