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.

And to define America, her athletic Democracy;
Therefore I send you my poems, that you behold in them what you wanted.”~~~

 "Fray Damián de Saldaña is the son of Don Miguel de Saldaña of Saldaña, a man to be trusted."~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS Ch.2 THE MISSION
"Invariably Fray Damián assigned himself the most difficult tasks, such as lifting the loosened earth from the trench, but he actually reveled in the hard work, believing that it made him more definitely a servant of God. On Sundays when all others rested he rose before dawn, prepared to sing the Mass, cleared his mind of mundane matters and reflected on the majesty of heaven." ~~~James A. Michener :Texas. Ch. 2 : THE MISSION
