Other men's pains are easily borne.
Miguel de Cervantes
If thou takest virtue for the rule of life, and valuest thyself upon acting in all things comfortably thereto, thou wilt have no cause to envy lords and princes for blood is inherited, but virtue is common property, and may be acquired by all it has, moreover, an intrinsic worth, which blood has not.

Miguel de Cervantes
No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.
Miguel de Cervantes
Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them.
Miguel de Cervantes
