Lithuanian translation:well....
Explanation:
you know, this is phrase, a saying, and those are not totally translatable.

but here's the literal translation:

Pasauliui gali būti žmogumi, bet žmogui gali būti pasauliu.
(make sure you're viewing through Baltic encoding or character set)

actually it doesn't sound that bad in Lithuanian, but neither is it something very impressive.
