French
Il m'est possible de ne porter aucun jugement sur cette chose, et de n'en pas troubler mon âme. Les choses ne sont pas d'une nature telle qu'elles nous imposent nos jugements.

German
Du brauchst über dies oder das keine Meinung zu haben und kannst so deiner Seele alle Unruhe ersparen; denn die Dinge selbst sind nicht derart, dass sie uns Urteile abnötigen.
