Bernal Diaz Del Castillo Quotes

We came to serve God and to get rich, as all men wish to do.

And when we saw all those cities and villages built in the water, and other great towns on dry land, and that straight and level causeway leading to Mexico, we were astounded.

We dared not charge them except all together... for they were so numerous that they could have blinded us with clods of earth, if God, of His great mercy, had not aided and protected us.

We went there to serve God, and also to get rich.
