Life, Hippocrates

Greek

Ὁ βίος βραχύς,
ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρή,
ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὀξύς,
ἡ δὲ πεῖρα σφαλερή,
ἡ δὲ κρίσις χαλεπή.

- Hippokratēs

Life is short,
art is long,
opportunity fleeting,
experiment uncertain,
and judgement difficult.

- Hippocrates (460BC–370BC)

인생은 짧고,
예술은 길다.
위기는 우리 주위에 항상 맴도는 것,
경험을 맹신하면 위험하며,
판단은 쉽게 내리기 어렵다.

- 히포크라테스 (Hippokratēs, BC 460?~BC 377?), 잠언집 (Aphorisms)
