Miguel de Cervantes
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our deeds.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
The very remembrance of my former misfortune proves a new one to me.
Miguel de Cervantes
All sorrows are less with bread.
Miguel de Cervantes
Controlling my temper is important, ... Sometimes it's hard, but I try.
Miguel de Cervantes
When we are asleep, we are all equal.
Miguel de Cervantes
In hell there is no retention.
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
There are only two families in the world, my old grandmother used to say, the Haves and the Have-nots.
