Digo, paciencia y barajar. What I say is, patience, and shuffle the cards.

He who reforms, God assists.

Be slow of tongue and quick of eye.

Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.

Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep!Ê It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot.Ê It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.

Love is influenced by no consideration, recognizes no restraints of reason, and is of the same nature as death, that assails alike the lofty palaces of kings and the humble cabins of shepherds; and when it takes entire possession of a heart, the first thing it does is to banish fear and shame from it.

Everyone is as God has made him, and oftentimes a great deal worse.
