"Por cierto, no es pequeno dolor  contemplar que, siendo aquellos incas gentiles e idolatras, tuviesen tan buena orden para saber gobernar y conservar tierras tan largas, y nosotros, siendo cristianos, hayamos destruido tantos reinos." Pedro de Cieza de León, 1553

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Cieza_de_Le%C3%B3n

"It is certainly no small grief to contemplate the idolatrous but genteel Inca who had such keen understanding of order that they knew how to govern and preserve vast lands, while we Christians have destroyed so many peoples."
