More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
A person dishonored is worst than dead.
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
Sing away sorrow, cast away care.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
Pray, look better, sir... those things yonder are no giants, but windmills.
Miguel de Cervantes
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Not with whom you are born, but with whom you are bred.
Miguel de Cervantes
Miracle me no miracles.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who has the judge for his father goes into court with an easy mind.
Miguel de Cervantes
A bad year and a bad month to all the backbiting bitches in the world!.
Miguel de Cervantes
The absent feel and fear every ill.
Miguel de Cervantes
Time ripens all things no man is born wise.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who loses wealth loses much he who loses a friend loses more but he that loses his courage loses all.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tis ill talking of halters in the house of a man that was hanged.
Miguel de Cervantes
Translation from one language to another is like viewing a piece of tapestry on the wrong side where though the figures are distinguishable yet there are so many ends and threads that the beauty and exactness of the work is obscured.
Miguel de Cervantes
