About Miguel de Cervantes

1547 – 1616

Spanish novelist, author of "Don Quixote".

“Valour lies just halfway between rashness and cowheartedness.”

“Fear is sharp-sighted, and can see things underground, and much more in the skies.”

“Every one is the son of his own works.”

“Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer.”

“There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.”

“If you see what is right and fail to act on it, you lack courage.”

“How long will men dare to call anything expedient that is not right?”

“In hidden inwardness all are Christians; who would dare deny this?”

“Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage.”
