If you cannot reconcile yourself to the law, remain in the cradle.
Que si a la Ley no te ajustas,
quedó en la cuna labrada
la materia de la tumba.
quedó en la cuna labrada
la materia de la tumba.

More quotes by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
For companionship in woes gives alleviation, even though it be that of an enemy.
For in a firm mind there is always found an unchanged countenance for good and evil.
As the day sinks cool and fresh into the tomb, to be the guest of the sea-god, good-night to you.
