How will he who does not know how to govern himself know how to govern others?
Miguel de Cervantes
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.
Miguel de Cervantes
Is it possible your pragmatical worship should not know that the comparisons made between wit and wit, courage and courage, beauty and beauty, birth and birth, are always odious and ill taken?.
