Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the sum of his own works.
Miguel de Cervantes
Modesty, tis a virtue not often found among poets, for almost every one of them thinks himself the greatest in the world.
Miguel de Cervantes
Men of great talents, whether poets or historians, seldom escape the attacks of those who, without ever favoring the world with any production of their own, take delight in criticising the works of others.
Miguel de Cervantes
