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
She who desires to see, desires also to be seen.
Miguel de Cervantes
There are two kinds of people in this world, my grandmother used to say: the Have's and the Have-not's, and she stuck to the Have's. And today, Señor Don Quixote, people are more interested in having than in knowing. An ass covered with gold makes a better impression than a horse with a packsaddle.
Miguel de Cervantes
Love is invisible and comes and goes where it wants, without anyone asking about it.
Miguel de Cervantes
