A booby is he, to be sure,
Who, being ill and seeking cure,
A sickly doctor calls.

— Miguel Sánchez Requejo

(Pues) necio suelen llamar
A quien se pone á curar
Con médico poco sano.

More quotes by Miguel Sánchez Requejo

Sometimes it falls, by running much
The later we arrive.

A faith that's moved by anger
A feeble faith must be.

Sad it is, but must be said,
People think, though false, I ween.
Scandal is a relish keen
Used by most to save their bread.

Diverse are the laws,
But there's no law that sways the heart of man
When the soul sets some sorrow in a shrine
And worships it.

Women, like mirrors, may reflect,
Perchance your very face;
If you the compliment neglect,
Another takes your place.
