having eyes only for their sufferings, not for their misdeeds./Compassion quote by miguel de Cervantes


Gabriel Picart Art

It is not the responsibility of knights errant to discover whether the afflicted, the enchained and the oppressed whom they encounter on the road are reduced to these circumstances and suffer this distress for their vices, or for their virtues: the knight's sole responsibility is to succour them as people in need, having eyes only for their sufferings, not for their misdeeds.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote
