Miguel de Cervantes
She who desires to see, desires also to be seen.
Miguel de Cervantes
The ass will carry his load, but not a double load ride not a free horse to death.
Miguel de Cervantes
The ass bears the load, but not the overload.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be temperate in your drinking, remembering that too much wine cannot keep either a secret or a promise.
Miguel de Cervantes
Treason pleases, but not the traitor.
Miguel de Cervantes
All sorrows are less with bread.
Miguel de Cervantes
