More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
There are two kinds of people in this world, my grandmother used to say: the Have's and the Have-not's, and she stuck to the Have's. And today, Señor Don Quixote, people are more interested in having than in knowing. An ass covered with gold makes a better impression than a horse with a packsaddle.
Miguel de Cervantes
Honesty is the best policy, I will stick to that. The good shall have my hand and heart, but the bad neither foot nor fellowship. And in my mind, the main point of governing, is to make a good beginning.
Miguel de Cervantes
Let everyone turn himself around, and look at home, and he will find enough to do.
Miguel de Cervantes
Where one door shuts another opens.
Miguel de Cervantes
Health and cheerfulness make beauty
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
The reputation of a woman may also be compared to a mirror of crystal, shining and bright, but liable to be sullied by every breath that comes near it.

Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
The pen is the tongue of the mind.
Miguel de Cervantes
Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.
Miguel de Cervantes
I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.
Miguel de Cervantes
No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.
Miguel de Cervantes
Her father guarded her, and she guarded herself for there are no padlocks, bolts, or bars, that secure a maiden better than her own reserve.
Miguel de Cervantes
Liberty ... is one of the most valuable blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon mankind.
Miguel de Cervantes
Troubles take wing for the man who can sing.
Miguel de Cervantes
We must not stand upon trifles.
Miguel de Cervantes
