Truly I was born to be an example of misfortune, and a target at which the arrows of adversary are aimed.
Miguel de Cervantes
Blessed be those happy ages that were strangers to the dreadful fury of these devilish instruments of artillery, whose inventor I am satisfied is now in Hell, receiving the reward of his cursed invention, which is the cause that very often a cowardly base hand takes away the life of the bravest gentleman.
Miguel de Cervantes
The guts carry the feet, not the feet the guts.
Miguel de Cervantes
With life many things are remedied.
Miguel de Cervantes
Not with whom you are born, but with whom you are bred.

Miguel de Cervantes
Urgent necessity prompts many to do things.
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
Do not eat garlic or onions for their smell will reveal that you are a peasant.
Miguel de Cervantes
Love and war are the same thing, and stratagems and policy are as allowable in the one as in the other.
Miguel de Cervantes
Soul of fibre and heart of oak.
Miguel de Cervantes
Fortune leaves always some door open to come at a remedy.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who's down one day can be up the next, unless he really wants to stay in bed, that is.
Miguel de Cervantes
I want you to see me naked and performing one or two dozen mad acts, which will take me less than half an hour, because if you have seen them with your own eyes, you can safely swear to any others you might wish to add.
Miguel de Cervantes
She who desires to see, desires also to be seen.
Miguel de Cervantes
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
Miguel de Cervantes
Fortune may have yet a better success in reserve for you and they who lose today may win tomorrow.
Miguel de Cervantes
The man who fights for his ideals is alive.
Miguel de Cervantes
