Miguel de Unamuno
It is not the shilling I give you that counts, but the warmth that it carries with it from my hand.
Miguel de Unamuno
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Miguel de Unamuno
Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.
