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
It is better that a judge should lean on the side of compassion than severity.
Miguel de Cervantes
With life many things are remedied.
Miguel de Cervantes
Man have to have friends even in hell.
