Wer zu schenken hat, dem ist's ein Edelstein; wo er sich hin kehrt, ist er klug geachtet.
Piedra preciosa es el cohecho en ojos de sus dueños: A donde quiera que se vuelve, da prosperidad.
Les présents sont une pierre précieuse aux yeux de qui en reçoit; De quelque côté qu'ils se tournent, ils ont du succès.
Il presente è, appo chi è dato a ricever presenti, una gioia graziosa; Dovunque si volge produce effetto
O presente é, aos olhos dos que o recebem, como pedra preciosa; para onde quer que se volte servirá de proveito.
賄賂在餽贈者的眼中看為玉石, 隨處運轉都得順利。
