More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Get out of harms way.
Miguel de Cervantes
The guts carry the feet, not the feet the guts.
Miguel de Cervantes
Every man was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
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
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
Miguel de Cervantes
A good name is better than bags of gold.
Miguel de Cervantes
It requires a long time to know anyone.
Miguel de Cervantes
Does the devil possess you? You're leaping over the hedge before you come at the stile.
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
Do but take care to express yourself in a plain, easy Manner, in well-chosen, significant and decent Terms, and to give a harmonious and pleasing Turn to your Periods: study to explain your Thoughts, and set them in the truest Light, labouring as much as possible, not to leave them dark nor intricate, but clear and intelligible.
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
Fortune may have yet a better success in reserve for you and they who lose today may win tomorrow.
Miguel de Cervantes
Drink moderately, for drunkeness neither keeps a secret, nor observes a promise.
Miguel de Cervantes
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Let us make hay while the sun shines.
Miguel de Cervantes
The beauty of some women has days and seasons, depending upon accidents which diminish or increase it nay, the very passions of the mind naturally improve or impair it, and very often utterly destroy it.
Miguel de Cervantes
But do not give it to a lawyer's clerk to write, for they use a legal hand that Satan himself will not understand.
Miguel de Cervantes
Hunger is the best sauce in the world.
Miguel de Cervantes
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our deeds.
Miguel de Cervantes
She wanted, with her fickleness, to make my destruction constant I want, by trying to destroy myself, to satisfy her desire.
Miguel de Cervantes
