Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Unos van por el ancho campo de la ambición soberbia; otros, por el de la adulación servil y baja; otros, por el de la hipocresía engañosa, y algunos, por el de la verdadera religión; pero yo, inclinado de mi estrella, voy por la angosta senda de la caballería andante, por cuyo ejercicio desprecio la hacienda, pero no la honra.
