For no one should quarrel with his governor, or him in authority over him, because he will come off the worst, as he does who puts his finger between two back and if they are not back teeth it makes no difference, so long as they are teeth; and to whatever the governor may say there's no answer, any more than to 'get out of my house' and 'what do you want with my wife?' and then, as for that about the stone and the pitcher, a blind man could see that.
Que nadie se tome con su gobernador ni con el que le manda, porque saldrá lastimado, como el que pone el dedo entre dos muelas cordales, y aunque no sean cordales, como sean muelas, no importa; y a lo que dijere el gobernador no hay que replicar, como al "salíos de mi casa y qué queréis con mi mujer". Pues lo de la piedra en el cántaro un ciego lo verá.
