Miguel de Cervantes
Health and cheerfulness make beauty
Miguel de Cervantes
For if he like a madman lived At least he like a wise one died.
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
Abundance, even of good things, prevents them from being valued
Miguel de Cervantes
Too much sanity may be madness!
