Los Padres have everything and the people have nothing; 'tis the masterpiece of reason and justice. For my part, I know nothing so divine as Los Padres who make war on Kings of Spain and Portugal and in Europe act as their confessors; who here kill Spaniards and at Madrid send them to Heaven.

Being a bird ain't all about flying and shitting from high places.

I hate women because they always know where things are.

Prejudices are what rule the vulgar crowd.

He who seeks truth should be of no country.

The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude.

But in this country it is necessary, now and then, to put one admiral to death in order to inspire the others to fight.
