574. Wunderliche Eitelkeit. - Wer dreimal mit Dreistigkeit das Wetter prophezeit hat und Erfolg hatte, der glaubt im Grunde seiner Seele ein Wenig an seine Prophetengabe. Wir lassen das Wunderliche, Irrationelle gelten, wenn es unserer Selbstschätzung schmeichelt.

574. Curious Vanity. Whoever has boldly predicted the weather three times and been successful believes, in the depths of his soul, a little in his gift of prophecy. We accept the curious and irrational when it flatters our self-esteem.

574. Étrange vanité. Celui qui, par trois fois, a prédit le temps avec hardiesse et a vu juste croit, au fond de son âme, un peu à son don de prophétie. Nous admettons l'étrange, l'irrationnel, lorsqu'il flatte l'estime que nous avons de nous-mêmes.
