Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

Por desgracia, en el mundo la verdad anda escondida, por los rincones disfrazada con los nombres de filosofía, ciencia y franqueza, mientras que la mentira anda por calles, plazas y salones, disfrazada con los brillantes nombres de educación, galantería, etiqueta, y otros mucho más hipócritas todavía.

for it is the business and duty of historians to be exact, truthful, and wholly free from passion, and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor love, should make them swerve from the path of truth, whose mother is history, rival of time, storehouse of deeds, witness for the past, example and counsel for the present, and warning for the future.
