More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
When a man says, Get out of my house! what would you have with my wife? there is no answer to be made.
Miguel de Cervantes
Blessed be those happy ages that were strangers to the dreadful fury of these devilish instruments of artillery, whose inventor I am satisfied is now in Hell, receiving the reward of his cursed invention, which is the cause that very often a cowardly base hand takes away the life of the bravest gentleman.
Miguel de Cervantes
There are only two families in the world, my old grandmother used to say, the Haves and the Have-nots.
Miguel de Cervantes
In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.
Miguel de Cervantes
There is a strange charm in the thoughts of a good legacy, or the hopes of an estate, which wondrously removes or at least alleviates the sorrow that men would otherwise feel for the death of friends.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tell me what company thou keepest and I'll tell thee what thou art.
Miguel de Cervantes
Soul of fibre and heart of oak.
Miguel de Cervantes
The cleverest character in comedy is the clown, for he who would make people take him for a fool, must not be one.
Miguel de Cervantes
Wit and humor do not reside in slow minds.
Miguel de Cervantes
Troubles take wing for the man who can sing.
Miguel de Cervantes
The ass bears the load, but not the overload.
Miguel de Cervantes
Evil comes not amiss if it comes alone.
Miguel de Cervantes
Fortune leaves always some door open to come at a remedy.
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
No man is more than another unless he does more than another.
Miguel de Cervantes
It is the part of a wise man to keep himself today for tomorrow, and not to venture all his eggs in one basket.
Miguel de Cervantes
Time ripens all things no man is born wise.
Miguel de Cervantes
I find my familiarity with thee has bred contempt.
Miguel de Cervantes
Among the attributes of God, although they are equal, mercy shines with even more brilliance than justice.
Miguel de Cervantes
The most difficult character in comedy is that of the fool, and he must be no simpleton that plays that part.
Miguel de Cervantes
