| c1a6581 | Take care, Sancho," said Samson; "honours change manners, and perhaps when you find yourself a governor you won't know the mother that bore you." | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| 9e78c91 | Ay senor! --dijo la sobrina--, bien los puede vuestra merced mandar quemar, como a los demas, porque no seria mucho que, habiendo sanado mi senor tio de la enfermedad caballeresca, leyendo estos, se le antojase de hacerse pastor y andarse por los bosques y prados cantando y tanendo; y, lo que seria peor, hacerse poeta; que, segun dicen, es enfermedad incurable y pegadiza. | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| 448e50c | Advierte, Sancho --respondio don Quijote--, que hay dos maneras de hermosura: una del alma y otra del cuerpo; la del alma campea y se muestra en el entendimiento, en la honestidad, en el buen proceder, en la liberalidad y en la buena crianza, y todas estas partes caben y pueden estar en un hombre feo; y cuando se pone la mira en esta hermosura, | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| e5e8f74 | And indeed, if the truth is to be told, what I eat in my corner without form or fuss has much more relish for me, even though it be bread and onions, than the turkeys of those other tables where I am forced to chew slowly, drink little, wipe my mouth every minute, and cannot sneeze or cough if I want or do other things that are the privileges of liberty and solitude. | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| 79d3d0c | Poco desviados de alli hicieron alto estos tres carros, y ceso el enfadoso ruido de sus ruedas, y luego se oyo otro, no ruidoXVIII, sino un son de una suave y concertada musica formado, con que Sancho se alegro, y lo tuvo a buena senal, y, asi, dijo a la duquesa, de quien un punto ni un paso se apartaba: --Senora, donde hay musica no puede haber cosa mala. --Tampoco donde hay luces y claridad --respondio la duquesa. A lo que replico Sancho:.. | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| 9d978bc | Senor- respondio Sancho-, que el retirar no es huir, ni el esperar es cordura, cuando el peligro sobrepuja a la esperanza, y de sabios es guardarse hoy para manana, y no aventurarse todo en un dia. | consejo españa español quijote refranes sabiduria sancho spanish | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | |
| 8c1aa8a | Despite all this, we stayed in the hospital that night, and when the old woman found me alone on the grounds she asked, "Is it you, Montiel? Is it you, perchance, my boy?" I lifted my head and looked up at her for a long time. When she saw this, she bent down to me with tears in her eyes and threw her arms around my neck. She would've kissed me on the lips if I'd let her, but that was disgusting, and I wouldn't stand for it." | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| 1919525 | Berganza, I'm not shocked that--since there's good and bad in all of us--we get the hang of evil in no time. | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| 172d3c5 | Fate anche in modo che, leggendo la vostra storia, il malinconico rida e il gaio lo diventi ancora di piu, l'ignorante non si annoi e il colto ne ammiri l'ingegno, il serio non la disprezzi e il saggio non manchi di lodarla. | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||

| 56314e6 | Then he said the funny thing was the old man himself had left home when he was a kid, after a fight with his own father. The father lit into him for using the wheelbarrow. "It was this way. They always carried the feed to the horses, pail by pail. In the winter, when the horses were in the stalls. So my father took the notion to carry it to them in the wheelbarrow. Naturally it was a lot quicker. But he got beat. For laziness. That was the .. | conservatism parochialism poverty | Alice Munro | |

| 0b2ace5 | Manfred sighed. He looked at the ceiling and declared, 'I am behind words on the way to music beneath a wing and before trumpets, masks and brushes.' He paused for effect and brought his gaze back to Charlie. 'Do I make myself clear?' In any other circumstances, Charlie would have said, 'Clear as ditchwater,' but as the situation was already pretty grim, he decided to say, 'Yes, Manfred. | Jenny Nimmo | ||
| a78565d | He knelt in the grass and gently pulled off the helmet. A familiar face smiled up at him. Charlie couldn't speak. His astonishment, his joy was too great. He could feel the others gathering behind him, murmuring, 'It can't be!' 'Is it, really?' 'Why didn't we know? | Jenny Nimmo | ||

I was the idiot who made that hole." "Sorry!" said Mr. Willet with a wink. "Didn't mean to hurt your feelings." | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||

| ffab9c0 | He almost forgot all about the horse poop until a horse went by and did just that, though not on one of the Aldens' squares. The crowd cheered as the horse went past. Benny noticed that they didn't seem to care whose square was lucky. Everyone was just happy the poop was on a square. A | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||
| 9095b51 | While the mystery element is central to each of Miss Warner's books, she never thought of them as strictly juvenile mysteries. She liked to stress the Aldens' independence and resourcefulness and their solid New England devotion to using up and making do. The Aldens go about most of their adventures with as little adult supervision as possible--something else that delights young readers. | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||

| 8f17c6a | A lady at the general store said the Walking Skeleton takes arms and hands from the statues so it can turn into a person again!" "That's one of the tales going around, but, of course, it's just a story," Charlotte said. "I really don't know how the statues got damaged recently. They are quite old and already worn away by the weather. But now a few pieces are missing--not just falling off, but disappearing. I do hope you can all keep an eye .. | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||
| 335a3cd | But now he pays attention, he notices something about the bush that he thinks he has missed those other times. How tangled up in itself it is, how dense and secret. It's not a matter of one tree after another, it's all the trees together, aiding and abetting one another and weaving into one thing. A transformation, behind your back. | Alice Munro | ||
| 1877eb4 | Have you lived here a very long time?" the young woman asked the man, who was wearing a fishing vest today. "I'm trying to get information about those statues out at Skeleton Point. Nobody seems to know how old they are or where they came from." "Or where some parts of the statues are going," the man told the young woman. "Lots of fool stories are going around about somebody--or something--damaging the statues. Stay away from them, I say. T.. | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||
| 1b81fe4 | After a long bike ride, the Aldens finally came to Skeleton Point. Just as the children slowed down, a familiar dog bounded from the bushes and barked. Then he began to sniff around. "He smells our ham sandwiches," Benny guessed. "There, there, Max," Jessie said softly. The dog tilted his head the way Watch always did when someone knew his name and spoke gently to him. Jessie carefully reached into her bike bag. She found her ham sandwich a.. | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||
| e5ee988 | Doesn't that look like Mr. Mason from behind?" Henry grabbed the glasses. "I think it is him. I recognize the red hat he had on yesterday. If he had a motorboat, why did Hilda tell us they didn't have time to go to the hardware store?" Jessie found the towel she'd packed and shared it with Henry. "The sun will have to dry off the rest of us," she said. "If you ask me, those two are trying to keep us away from Cousin Charlotte's property." ".. | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||
| 68622d7 | There was a full-sized seated skeleton in front of them on the steps. "The Walking Skeleton!" Benny said. Henry chuckled. "No, I guess you'd have to call it the Sitting Skeleton. It's just sitting there as if it stopped to take a rest." "I'm not afraid of Halloween tricks even when it's not Halloween." Benny scurried past the skeleton. Henry looked very serious.
