More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
There are but few proverbial sayings that are not true, for they are all drawn from experience itself, which is the mother of all sciences.
Miguel de Cervantes
I want you to see me naked and performing one or two dozen mad acts, which will take me less than half an hour, because if you have seen them with your own eyes, you can safely swear to any others you might wish to add.
Miguel de Cervantes
I have always heard, Sancho, that doing good to base fellows is like throwing water into the sea.
Miguel de Cervantes
Let the worst come to the worst.
Miguel de Cervantes
I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge. It is no bread and butter of mine every man for himself, and God for us all.
Miguel de Cervantes
There is remedy for all things except death - Don Quixote De La Mancha

Miguel de Cervantes
In hell there is no retention.
Miguel de Cervantes
Where envy reigns virtue can't exist, and generosity doesn't go with meanness.
Miguel de Cervantes
There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world, with as much dispatch as they would do a dish of fritters.
Miguel de Cervantes
A person dishonored is worst than dead.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tomorrow will be a new day.
Miguel de Cervantes
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be brief, for no talk can please when too long. Being prepared is half the victory.
Miguel de Cervantes
Does the devil possess you? You're leaping over the hedge before you come at the stile.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who sings frightens away his ills.
Miguel de Cervantes
A good name is better than bags of gold.
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
Soul of fibre and heart of oak.
Miguel de Cervantes
History is the depository of great actions, the witness of what is past, the example and instructor of the present, and monitor to the future.
Miguel de Cervantes
