More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Evil comes not amiss if it comes alone.
Miguel de Cervantes
Thou art a cat, and a rat, and a coward.
Miguel de Cervantes
Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side.
Miguel de Cervantes
Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world
Miguel de Cervantes
She who desires to see, desires also to be seen.
Miguel de Cervantes
Captivity is the greatest of all evils that can befall one.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Miguel de Cervantes
There are two kinds of people in this world, my grandmother used to say: the Have's and the Have-not's, and she stuck to the Have's. And today, Señor Don Quixote, people are more interested in having than in knowing. An ass covered with gold makes a better impression than a horse with a packsaddle.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who sings frightens away his ills.
Miguel de Cervantes
The man who is prepared has his battle half fought.
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
True courage lies in the middle, between cowardice and recklessness.
Miguel de Cervantes
My heart is wax molded as she pleases, but enduring as marble to retain.
Miguel de Cervantes
A person dishonored is worst than dead.
Miguel de Cervantes
A bad year and a bad month to all the backbiting bitches in the world!.
Miguel de Cervantes
In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.
Miguel de Cervantes
A closed mouth catches no flies.
Miguel de Cervantes
It is past all controversy that what costs dearest is, and ought to be, most valued.
Miguel de Cervantes
From reading too much, and sleeping too little, his brain dried up on him and he lost his judgment.
Miguel de Cervantes
