For his confused and wayward wit
Like to a greedy lawyer is,
Who laws doth make to suit the taste
Of those who do his counsel seek.

— Miguel Sánchez Requejo

Su confuso entendimiento
Es codicioso letrado,
Que hace leyes siempre al gusto
De que llega á consultarlo.

More quotes by Miguel Sánchez Requejo

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

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.
