Miguel de Cervantes
Let the worst come to the worst.
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
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tomorrow will be a new day.
Miguel de Cervantes
The man who fights for his ideals is alive.
