Additional quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer

You are the cause by which I die.

He who repeats a tale after a man,
Is bound to say, as nearly as he can,
Each single word, if he remembers it,
However rudely spoken or unfit,
Or else the tale he tells will be untrue,
The things invented and the phrases new.

El hombre favorecido por la Fortuna se convierte en un imbécil integral.
