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

I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Troubles take wing for the man who can sing.
