I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

    Ich habe noch nie einen Gefährten gefunden, der so kameradschaftlich war wie die Einsamkeit. Wir sind größtenteils einsamer, wenn wir unter Männern ins Ausland gehen, als wenn wir in unseren Gemächern bleiben. Ein Mann, der denkt oder arbeitet, ist immer allein, lass ihn sein, wo er will.

    Mi neniam trovis akompananton tiel kompanan kiel solecon. Ni plejparte estas pli solaj kiam ni iras eksterlanden inter homoj ol kiam ni restas en niaj ĉambroj. homo pensanta aŭ laboranta estas ĉiam sola, li estu tie, kie li volos.

    Nunca he encontrado un compañero que fuera tan agradable como la soledad. En general, nos sentimos más solos cuando salimos al extranjero entre los hombres que cuando nos quedamos en nuestras habitaciones. un hombre pensando o trabajando está siempre solo, déjalo estar donde quiera.

    Je n'ai jamais trouvé un compagnon aussi compagnon que la solitude. nous sommes généralement plus seuls lorsque nous partons à l'étranger entre hommes que lorsque nous restons dans nos appartements. un homme qui pense ou travaille est toujours seul, qu’il soit là où il veut.

    मुझे कभी ऐसा साथी नहीं मिला जो एकांत में इतना साहसी था। जब हम अपने चैंबर में रहते हैं तो हम पुरुषों के बीच विदेश जाने के दौरान सबसे ज्यादा अकेले होते हैं। एक आदमी सोच रहा है या काम कर रहा है वह हमेशा अकेला है, उसे वह रहने दें जहां वह होगा।

    non ho mai trovato un compagno così socievole come la solitudine. siamo per la maggior parte più soli quando andiamo all'estero tra gli uomini rispetto a quando restiamo nelle nostre camere. un uomo che pensa o lavora è sempre solo, lascia che sia dove vuole.

    ego have umquam inventum est particeps fuit ut consortia, sic ut desertionemque perducta est. quoniam plerumque plus quam manere desertus inter eundum cum cubiculis nostris. operatio hominis est putare vel soli quo ipse vult.

    nunca encontrei um companheiro tão sociável quanto a solidão. na maioria das vezes, somos mais solitários quando viajamos para o exterior entre os homens do que quando permanecemos em nossos aposentos. um homem que pensa ou trabalha está sempre sozinho, deixe-o estar onde quiser.

    tôi chưa bao giờ tìm thấy một người bạn đồng hành thân thiện như cô đơn. phần lớn chúng ta cô đơn hơn khi đi ra nước ngoài giữa những người đàn ông hơn là khi chúng ta ở trong phòng của chúng ta. Một người đàn ông suy nghĩ hoặc làm việc luôn luôn một mình, hãy để anh ta là nơi anh ta sẽ.

    我从来没有找到像孤独一样友善的伴侣。当我们出国的时候,我们在大多数情况下比在我们的房间里待的时候更加孤独。一个思考或工作的人总是独自一人,让他成为他的意志。
