Miracle me no miracles.
Miguel de Cervantes
In hell there is no retention.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
To withdraw is not to run away, and to stay is no wise action, when there's more reason to fear than to hope.
Miguel de Cervantes
Let us not throw the rope after the bucket.
Miguel de Cervantes
Anyone who does not know how to make the most of his luck has no right to complain if it passes by him.
Miguel de Cervantes
I'll turn over a new leaf.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
Let every man mind his own business.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
For hope is always born at the same time as love.
Miguel de Cervantes
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.
Miguel de Cervantes
The cleverest character in comedy is the clown, for he who would make people take him for a fool, must not be one.
Miguel de Cervantes
Do not eat garlic or onions for their smell will reveal that you are a peasant.
Miguel de Cervantes
I had rather munch a crust of brown bread and an onion in a corner, without any more ado, or ceremony, than feed upon turkey at another man's table.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be brief, for no talk can please when too long. Being prepared is half the victory.
Miguel de Cervantes
Whether it's the pot that hits the rock or the rock that hits the pot , it's the pot that will break every time
