More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
It is good to live and learn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tis ill talking of halters in the house of a man that was hanged.
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
It is impossible for good or evil to last forever and hence it follows that the evil having lasted so long, the good must be now nigh at hand.
Miguel de Cervantes
Every man is as God made him, ay, and often worse.
Miguel de Cervantes
Let the worst come to the worst.
Miguel de Cervantes
If thou takest virtue for the rule of life, and valuest thyself upon acting in all things comfortably thereto, thou wilt have no cause to envy lords and princes for blood is inherited, but virtue is common property, and may be acquired by all it has, moreover, an intrinsic worth, which blood has not.
Miguel de Cervantes
All persons are not discreet enough to know how to take things by the right handle.
Miguel de Cervantes
Well-gotten wealth may lose itself, but the ill-gotten loses its master also.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
We must not stand upon trifles.
Miguel de Cervantes
Miracle me no miracles.
Miguel de Cervantes
Old, that's an affront no woman can well bear.
Miguel de Cervantes
She who desires to see, desires also to be seen.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be brief, for no talk can please when too long. Being prepared is half the victory.
Miguel de Cervantes
Man have to have friends even in hell.
Miguel de Cervantes
In hell there is no retention.
Miguel de Cervantes
Sing away sorrow, cast away care.
Miguel de Cervantes
A good name is better than bags of gold.
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
