Thanks for the idea!  I played with "It is our choices, Harry, that
show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

English-German-English:
It is our elections, Harry, which show, what we is real, far more than
our abilities.

English-Spanish-English:
It is our options, Harry, that demonstrates far which we are truth,
more than our capacities.

English-French-English:
These is the choices, Harry, which show what are really us, much more
than our capacities.

English-French-German-English:
It is our choice, Harry, which shows, what us is real, very much more
than our capacities.

English-Italian-English:
It is our choices, Harry, than they show to us that what to align we
are, much more of our abilities.

English-Portugese-English:
It is our choices, Harry, who in shows them more what we are truily,
distant of the one than our abilities.

I was surprised that the English-French-German-English one was
definitely not the most garbled!
