Francisco Pizarro
1 quotes
“Friends and comrades! on that side are toil, hunger, nakedness, the drenching storm, desertion, and death; on this side, ease and pleasure. There lies Peru with its riches; here, Panamá, and its poverty. Choose, each man, what best becomes a brave Castilian. For my part, I go to the south.”
