46. Correción

Without punishment and self-discipline one can’t get on in any science. In witchcraft one needs unusual talent perseverance, maturity, and a rigid obedience to the teachings of the Great Witchmaster who conducts the Seminary of Barahona.  

56. Subir y bajar 

56. Ups and downs 

Fortune is unkind to those who court her. Ambition is rewarded with emptiness. Those who have risen she often punishes with downfall. 

77. Unos à otros 

77. Now one, now another 

The way of the world. The people laugh and play bullfighting with each other. He who yesterday played the bull plays today the toreador. Chance rules the game and assigns the parts according to her caprices.
