Rich/Poor

Moral Epistle to Fabius
Andrés Fernández De Andrada, born in Sevilla, in 1575.

“…Una mediana vida yo posea,
un estilo común y moderado,
que no le note nadie que le vea”.

“…A medium life I should have,
a common and moderate style,
that no one who sees it notices it.”

Borges: “…Belonging to the middle class is the best because it lacks prestige and yet it is the best class. I would say that it is the only one. I would say that it is as shameful that there are millionaires in a country as it is that there are beggars. Besides, beggars are the necessary condition for millionaires and vice versa.”.
