Miguel de Cervantes
I can tell where my own shoe pinches me.
Miguel de Cervantes
To be good to the vile is to throw water into the sea.

Miguel de Cervantes
If 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

Miguel de Cervantes
Where one door shuts another opens.
Miguel de Cervantes
Jests that give pains are no jests.
Miguel de Cervantes
In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR. Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world.
Miguel de Cervantes
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.
Miguel de Cervantes
Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.
Miguel de Cervantes
The wise hand does not all the tongue dictates.
Miguel de Cervantes
