Hispanic/Latino & some Filipino Gems of FTB
Compiled by fredthebear

Bravo! The Portuguese are invited too, and perhaps some Indonesians of Spanish decent, especially the Filipinos. The brave explorers of the 1500s sailed around the world and left their lasting mark on all of mankind! Germans who made their way to Brazil might be excluded.

The beautiful games of world champion Jose R. Capablanca, a Cuban, are in a different collection, but a few have been dropped in here.

This collection is by no means complete. More games will be added as our paths cross.

La posesión más valiosa que puedes tener es un corazón abierto. El arma más poderosa que puedes ser, es ser un instrumento de paz – The most valuable possession you can have is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is to be an instrument of peace.

La paz no significa una ausencia de conflictos, siempre habrá diferencias. La paz significa la resolución de estas diferencias por medios pacíficos, a través del diálogo, la educación, el conocimiento, y también por medios humanitarios – Peace does not mean an absence of conflict, there will always be differences. Peace means the resolution of these differences by peaceful means, through dialogue, education, knowledge, and also through humanitarian means.

WTHarvey: There once was a website named WTHarvey, Where chess puzzles did daily delay,
The brain-teasers so tough,
They made us all huff and puff,
But solving them brought us great satisfaction today.

There once was a website named WTHarvey
Where chess puzzles were quite aplenty
With knight and rook and pawn
You'll sharpen your brain with a yawn
And become a master of chess entry

There once was a site for chess fun,
Wtharvey.com was the chosen one,
With puzzles galore,
It'll keep you in store,
For hours of brain-teasing, none done.

There once was a website named wtharvey,
Where chess puzzles were posted daily,
You'd solve them with glee,
And in victory,
You'd feel like a true chess prodigy!

Los que están en guerra con los demás no están en paz consigo mismos – Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.

Q: Why does Sunday always beat Monday in arm wrestling? A: Because Monday is a weakday.

Old Russian Proverb: "Measure seven times, cut once. (Семь раз отмерь — один отрежь.)" Be careful before you do something that cannot be changed.

Drive sober or get pulled over.

"For surely of all the drugs in the world, chess must be the most permanently pleasurable." — Assiac

"There are more adventures on a chessboard than on all the seas of the world." ― Pierre Mac Orlan

Que haya paz en la tierra y que empiece conmigo. No hay nada más que hacer sino ser – May there be peace on earth and may it begin with me. There is nothing else to do but be.

Q: How do cheeses greet each other on Monday mornings? A: Have a Gouda week!

Cuando haces lo correcto, obtienes la sensación de paz y serenidad. Hazlo una y otra vez – When you do the right thing, you get the feeling of peace and serenity. Do it over and over again.

The Council Held By The Rats

Old Rodilard, a certain cat,
Such havoc of the rats had made,
It was difficult to find a rat
With nature's debt unpaid.
The few that did remain,
To leave their holes afraid,
From usual food abstain,
Not eating half their fill.
And wonder no one will
That one who made of rats his revel,
With rats passed not for cat, but devil.
Now, on a day, this dread rat-eater,
Who had a wife, went out to meet her;
And while he held his caterwauling,
The unkilled rats, their chapter calling,
Discussed the point, in grave debate,
How they might shun impending fate.
Their dean, a prudent rat,
Thought best, and better soon than late,
To bell the fatal cat;
That, when he took his hunting round,
The rats, well cautioned by the sound,
Might hide in safety under ground;
Indeed he knew no other means.
And all the rest
At once confessed
Their minds were with the dean's.
No better plan, they all believed,
Could possibly have been conceived,
No doubt the thing would work right well,
If any one would hang the bell.
But, one by one, said every rat,
"I'm not so big a fool as that."
The plan, knocked up in this respect,
The council closed without effect.

And many a council I have seen,
Or reverend chapter with its dean,
That, thus resolving wisely,
Fell through like this precisely.

To argue or refute
Wise counsellors abound;
The man to execute
Is harder to be found.

La paz exige cuatro condiciones esenciales: verdad, justicia, amor y libertad – Peace requires four essential conditions: truth, justice, love and freedom.

Cuando el poder del amor sobrepase el amor al poder, el mundo conocerá la paz – When the power of love surpasses the love of power, the world will know peace.

The Hog, the Goat, and the Sheep

A goat, a sheep, and porker fat,
All to the market rode together.
Their own amusement was not that
Which caused their journey there.
Their coachman did not mean to "set them down"
To see the shows and wonders of the town.
The porker cried, in piercing squeals,
As if with butchers at his heels.
The other beasts, of milder mood,
The cause by no means understood.
They saw no harm, and wondered why
At such a rate the hog should cry.
"Hush there, old piggy!" said the man,
"And keep as quiet as you can.
What wrong have you to squeal about,
And raise this devilish, deafening shout?
These stiller persons at your side
Have manners much more dignified.
Pray, have you heard
A single word
Come from that gentleman in wool?
That proves him wise." "That proves him fool!"
The testy hog replied;
"For did he know
To what we go,
He'd cry almost to split his throat;
So would her ladyship the goat.
They only think to lose with ease,
The goat her milk, the sheep his fleece:
They're, maybe, right; but as for me,
This ride is quite another matter.
Of service only on the platter,
My death is quite a certainty.
Adieu, my dear old piggery!"
The porker's logic proved at once
Himself a prophet and a dunce.

Hope ever gives a present ease,
But fear beforehand kills:
The wisest he who least foresees
Inevitable ills.

La gratitud tiene sentido de nuestro pasado, trae la paz para hoy, y crea una visión para el mañana – Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

<Atterdag: Geoff - are you a descendant of Wordsworth?: There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem
Apparell'd in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;—
Turn wheresoe'er I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more. :-)

Sally Simpson: Hi Atterdag,
This is my tribute to Wordsworth. (Daffodils.)

I wandered lonely as a pawn,
o'er a field coloured brown and cream,
When suddenly I ran out of squares
and discovered I was now a Queen.>

Aprender a distanciarse de toda la negatividad es una de las mejores lecciones para lograr la paz interior – Learning to distance yourself from all negativity is one of the best lessons for achieving inner peace.

"Friend, you don't have to earn God's love or try harder. You're precious in His sight, covered by the priceless blood of Jesus, and indwelt by His Holy Spirit. Don't hide your heart or fear you're not good enough for Him to care for you. Accept His love, obey Him, and allow Him to keep you in His wonderful freedom." ― Charles F. Stanley

El soldado, sobre todo, reza por la paz, porque es el soldado el que debe sufrir y soportar las heridas más profundas y las cicatrices de la guerra – The soldier, above all, prays for peace, because it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Dame amor, dame paz, dame luz, dame vida – Give me love, give me peace, give me light, give me life.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

La oscuridad no puede expulsar la oscuridad: sólo la luz puede hacer eso. El odio no puede expulsar el odio: sólo el amor puede hacer eso – Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

The Fox and the Stork

Old Mister Fox was at expense, one day,
To dine old Mistress Stork.
The fare was light, was nothing, sooth to say,
Requiring knife and fork.
That sly old gentleman, the dinner-giver,
Was, you must understand, a frugal liver.
This once, at least, the total matter
Was thinnish soup served on a platter,
For madam's slender beak a fruitless puzzle,
Till all had passed the fox's lapping muzzle.
But, little relishing his laughter,
Old gossip Stork, some few days after,
Returned his Foxship's invitation.
Without a moment's hesitation,
He said he'd go, for he must own he
Never stood with friends for ceremony.
And so, precisely at the hour,
He hied him to the lady's bower;
Where, praising her politeness,
He finds her dinner right nice.
Its punctuality and plenty,
Its viands, cut in mouthfuls dainty,
Its fragrant smell, were powerful to excite,
Had there been need, his foxish appetite.
But now the dame, to torture him,
Such wit was in her,
Served up her dinner
In vases made so tall and slim,
They let their owner's beak pass in and out,
But not, by any means, the fox's snout!
All arts without avail,
With drooping head and tail,
As ought a fox a fowl had cheated,
The hungry guest at last retreated.

You knaves, for you is this recital,
You'll often meet Dame Stork's requital.

Un ojo por ojo y todo el mundo quedará ciego – An eye for an eye and the whole world will be blind.

Isolated pawns require a very expensive therapy, for keeping them alive.

La paz es su propia recompensa – Peace is its own reward.

La paz es hija de la convivencia, la educación y el diálogo – Peace is the daughter of coexistence, education and dialogue.
