Mateo Alemán Quote

Friends should be sought like good books. Happiness does not lie in having many or very curious friends; but few, good, and well-known ones.

Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind.

Desire conquers fear.

There is no word or brush that can express a father's love.

Blood is inherited, vice clings.

Every man should wish to live to learn, and learn to live well.

Assistance in need, even if little, helps a lot.

Those whom good deeds do not benefit and tender words do not move, are tamed by harsh and rigorous punishment.
