Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.

    μην χαλάσετε όσα έχετε, επιθυμώντας ό, τι δεν έχετε, αλλά να θυμάστε ότι αυτό που έχετε τώρα ήταν ένα από τα πράγματα που μόνο ελπίζατε.

    ne gâchez pas ce que vous avez en désirant ce que vous n’avez pas, mais souvenez-vous que ce que vous avez maintenant faisait autrefois partie de ce que vous espériez.

    जो तुम्हारे पास है, उसे चाह कर, जो तुम्हारे पास नहीं है, उसे मत बिगाड़ो, परन्तु स्मरण रखो कि जो कुछ तुम्हारे पास है, वह कभी उन वस्तुओं में से था, जिसकी आशा की जाती थी।

    אל תקלקל את מה שיש לך על ידי רצון למה שאין לך, אך זכור שמה שיש לך היה פעם היה בין הדברים שרק קיוו.

    quid vellent facere praedam tuam memento quod iam olim non nisi in tantum quod speratur.
