"The journey is better than the inn". - Miguel de Cervantes

Es de vidrio la mujer; pero no se ha de probar si se puede o no quebrar, porque todo podría ser. Y es más fácil el quebrarse, y no es cordura ponerse a peligro de romperse lo que no puede soldarse. Y en esta opinión estén todos, y en razón la fundo: que si hay Dánaes en el mundo, hay pluvias de oro también.

Her degree at least that of Princess, for she is my Queen and mistress; her beauty superhuman, for in her are realized all the impossible and chimerical attributes of beauty which poets give to their ladies; that her hair is gold; her forehead the Elysian fields; her eyebrows rainbows; her eyes suns; her cheeks roses; her lips coral; her teeth pearls; her neck alabaster; her breast marble; her hands ivory; she is white as snow; and those parts which modesty has veiled from human sight are such, I think and believe, that discreet reflection can extol them, but make no comparison.

It takes all sorts to make a world. (Literally, “There must be of all [types] in the world”)
