Herein the 4th Count of Premio-Real (1840-1888) mixes his own aphorisms with popular Iberian sayings to produce a small but unique work of reflection and observation.
A few examples:
"A fanatic will never comprehend but one phase of a subject: with him there is no possibility of a quiet controversy."
"The laws, some one has said, are like cobwebs, they catch only the small flies."
"So slow is the march of laziness along the road of human existence, and so squalid, and so feeble is it, that it is soon overtaken by poverty."
"The worst martyrdom is loving an incomprehensible woman."
"Make yourself of honey and you will be eaten by the flies."
"Some say that to live is to dream; others say that to love is to dream, but it should be said that to love is to live."
