Prov.14:5
"A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies."
     




"This book, though complete in itself, is the second in a series of volumes which I am writing about the Spanish empire. The first volume was Rivers of Gold, published in 2003. I am now at work on a third volume which takes the extraordinary story to 1580, when Spain ceased to expand her responsibilities. King Philip II decided in that year not to try to conquer China." ~~~HUGH THOMAS: The Golden Age. The Spanish Empire of Charles V , PREFACE

Testis fidelis non mentitur; profert autem mendacium dolosus testis. 5. El testigo verdadero no miente; el testigo falso dice mentiras. Il testimone fedele non mentisce, ma il testimone falso proferisce menzogne. Un témoin fidèle ne ment pas, Mais un faux témoin dit des mensonges. Ein ehrlicher Zeuge sagt immer die Wahrheit aus, ein falscher Zeuge verbreitet Lügen. Правдивый свидетель не станет лгать, а лживый свидетель дышит ложью.
