Never mind what some will say, for then thou wilt never have done. One may as soon tie up the winds, as the tongues of slanderers. - Miguel de Cervantes

A good name is better than riches.

a girl who seemed about sixteen years old, dressed in travelling clothes, and so marvellously beautiful and graceful that everyone was dazzled by the sight of her and, if they hadn’t seen Dorotea, Luscinda and Zoraida at the inn, they’d have believed it next to impossible to find another comparable beauty.

»Si alguna mujer hermosa viniere a pedirte justicia, quita los ojos de sus lágrimas y tus oídos de sus gemidos, y considera de espacio la sustancia de lo que pide, si no quieres que se anegue tu razón en su llanto y tu bondad en sus suspiros.
