Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.

    la vie est comme la musique, elle doit être composée par l'oreille, le sentiment et l'instinct, pas par la règle. néanmoins, il vaut mieux connaître les règles, car elles guident parfois dans des cas douteux, mais pas souvent.

    hidup itu seperti musik, itu harus disusun oleh telinga, perasaan dan naluri, bukan oleh aturan. namun demikian, orang sebaiknya mengetahui aturannya, karena kadang-kadang mereka membimbing dalam kasus-kasus yang meragukan, meskipun tidak sering.

    livet er som musikk, det må være komponert av øre, følelse og instinkt, ikke av regel. Likevel hadde man bedre kjenne til reglene, for de veileder noen ganger i tvilsomme tilfeller, men ikke ofte.

    生活就像音乐,它必须由耳朵,感觉和直觉组成,而不是由规则组成。但是,人们最好了解这些规则,因为它们有时会在可疑情况下提供指导,尽管这种情况并不常见。
