Nakaned gakdrane brakeläm ad dëne elae verae evera eymna dwa räg vedwëys wakkäke meyd ve mage. Ne raene räg as garknagas, ne wä as evael; n'adër, ne wä as elagd.

"in this life every moment provides a perfect and foolproof test of your real character, making this life a time of testing and probation"

 

An nakaned nag magern dembelga, ne dara as evned eyraeyngys ne kyneadara nag ne raelel aelwäs bravageg ne kraded rar ne breganedadara as n'elaw nag ne makys agays kavnenad ad rarm bard as ne dembele negawmned.

"there lie before each of you two roads between which a choice must be made. The one is the road of orange light, the way of evil; the other, the way of blue light. Every man must choose between the two every day of his life; that choosing is the most important thing he does. He will reappear in the proper time and place once he crosses through the tunnel. Meantime he must be free, perfectly free, to choose his own way. Once at the other side, he won't be free anymore, whichever choice he made"
