All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Ich habe alles Macht; es frommt aber nicht alles. Ich habe alles Macht; es soll mich aber nichts gefangen nehmen.
Todas las cosas me son lícitas, mas no todas convienen: todas las cosas me son lícitas, mas yo no me meteré debajo de potestad de nada.
Todo me es lícito, pero no todo conviene. Todo me es lícito, pero no me dejaré dominar por nada.
Tout m'est permis, mais tout n'est pas utile; tout m'est permis, mais je ne me laisserai asservir par quoi que ce soit.
OGNI cosa mi è lecita, ma ogni cosa non è utile; ogni cosa mi è lecita, ma non però sarò per cosa alcuna reso soggetto.
Todas as coisas me são lícitas, mas nem todas as coisas convêm. Todas as coisas me são lícitas, mas eu não me deixarei dominar por nenhuma.
「凡事我都可行」,但不是凡事都有益處。「凡事我都可行」,但無論哪一件,我都不受它的轄制。
