| Back | They tell me thou dost govern as if thou wert a man, and art a man as if thou wert a beast, so great is the humility wherewith thou dost comport thyself. But I would have thee bear in mind, Sancho, that very often it is fitting and necessary for the authority of office to resist the humility of the heart; for the seemly array of one who is invested with grave duties should be such as they require and not measured by what his own humble tastes may lead him to prefer. |

| Front | Dícenme que gobiernas como si fueses hombre, y que eres hombre como si fueses bestia, según es la humildad con que te tratas; y quiero que adviertas, Sancho, que muchas veces conviene y es necesario, por la autoridad del oficio, ir contra la humildad del corazón; porque el buen adorno de la persona que está puesta en graves cargos ha de ser conforme a lo que ellos piden, y no a la medida de lo que su humilde condición le inclina. |
