The Squatter and the Don Quotes

“Let us cry for the spilt milk, by all means, if by doing so we learn how to avoid spilling any more. Let us cry for the spilt milk, and remember how, and where, and why, we spilt it. Much wisdom is learnt through tears, but none by forgetting our lessons.”
― Maria Amparo Ruiz De Burton, The Squatter and the Don

“They knew they must not hope, but still they hoped, for the reason alone that hope goes with man to the foot of the gallows.”
― María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, The Squatter and the Don
