    بكل الوسائل الزواج: إذا كنت تحصل على زوجة صالحة ، فسوف تصبح سعيدا. إذا حصلت على سوء ، فسوف تصبح فيلسوفا.

    auf jeden Fall heiraten: Wenn Sie eine gute Frau bekommen, werden Sie glücklich; Wenn Sie einen schlechten bekommen, werden Sie ein Philosoph.

    por supuesto, cásate: si tienes una buena esposa, serás feliz; si obtienes una mala, te convertirás en filósofo.

    par tous les moyens se marier: si vous avez une bonne femme, vous deviendrez heureux; si vous en prenez une mauvaise, vous deviendrez un philosophe.

    trouw in ieder geval: als je een goede vrouw krijgt, word je gelukkig; als je een slechte krijgt, word je een filosoof.
