Additional quotes by Luís de Camões

Mas um velho d'aspeito venerando,
Que ficava nas praias, entre a gente,
Postos em nós os olhos, meneando
Três vezes a cabeça, descontente,
A voz pesada um pouco alevantando,
Que nós no mar ouvimos claramente,
C'um saber só de experiências feito,
Tais palavras tirou do experto peito: Ó glória de mandar! Ó vã cobiça
Desta vaidade, a quem chamamos Fama!
