QotD: Wise Words

Comments

I'll give it a go:

"It is not he who helps you who is good, but the one who does you no harm."

Or maybe:

"He is not good who helps you, but who does not bother you."

Am I right?
this is a trick! you know those things never translate to english right LOL
Hehe. The second one sounds about right. Thank you!
LOL. You are right!
The first one flows better in English; the second one is too much of a direct translation and stumbles too much.
Web of words: Online translation services

In general, online translation services have a ways to go, still, and software applications do it a little better (not really good for occasional and on-the-fly use, however).

I need only to point to Babelfish for a well-known example of how bad this has been in the past.
