(...) and it will be easier, remember, to bend thy will to love one who adores thee, than to lead one to love thee who abhors thee now. - Miguel de Cervantes

Three things too much, and three too little are pernicious to man; to speak much, and know little; to spend much, and have little; to presume much, and be worth little.

To think that the affairs of this life always remain in the same state is a vain presumption; indeed they all seem to be perpetually changing and moving in a circular course. Spring is followed by summer, summer by autumn, and autumn by winter, which is again followed by spring, and so time continues its everlasting round. But the life of man is ever racing to its end, swifter than time itself, without hope of renewal, unless in the next that is limitless and infinite.

Un buen arrepentimiento es la mejor medicina que tienen las enfermedades del alma.
