More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
I must speak the truth, and nothing but the truth.
Miguel de Cervantes
God bears with the wicked, but not forever.
Miguel de Cervantes
Every man is as God made him, ay, and often worse.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be temperate in your drinking, remembering that too much wine cannot keep either a secret or a promise.
Miguel de Cervantes
Love is influenced by no consideration, recognizes no restraints of reason, and is of the same nature as death, that assails alike the lofty palaces of kings and the humble cabins of shepherds and when it takes entire possession of a heart, the first thing it does is to banish fear and shame from it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side.
Miguel de Cervantes
When we leave this world, and are laid in the earth, the prince walks as narrow a path as the day-laborer.
Miguel de Cervantes
Liberty ... is one of the most valuable blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon mankind.
Miguel de Cervantes
What man can pretend to know the riddle of a woman's mind?
Miguel de Cervantes
I do not say a proverb is amiss when aptly and reasonably applied, but to be forever discharging them, right or wrong, hit or miss, renders conversation insipid and vulgar.
Miguel de Cervantes
What is bought is cheaper than a gift.
Miguel de Cervantes
Those who'll play with cats must expect to be scratched.
Miguel de Cervantes
Jealousy sees things always with magnifying glasses which make little things large, of dwarfs giants, of suspicions truths.
Miguel de Cervantes
Heaven's help is better than early rising.
Miguel de Cervantes
By such innovations are languages enriched, when the words are adopted by the multitude, and naturalized by custom.
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 God sends the dawn, he sends it for all.
Miguel de Cervantes
Time ripens all things no man is born wise.
Miguel de Cervantes
True valor lies in the middle between cowardice and rashness.
Miguel de Cervantes
No man is more than another unless he does more than another.
Miguel de Cervantes
