Liberty, as well as honor, man ought to preserve at the hazard of his life, for without it life is insupportable
Miguel de CervantesIf 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
