More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Love is influenced by no consideration, recognizes no restraints of reason, and is of the same nature as death, that assails alike the lofty palaces of kings and the humble cabins of shepherds and when it takes entire possession of a heart, the first thing it does is to banish fear and shame from it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Get out of harms way.
Miguel de Cervantes
Historians ought to be precise, faithful, and unprejudiced and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should make them swerve from the way of truth.
Miguel de Cervantes
Troubles take wing for the man who can sing.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who loses wealth loses much he who loses a friend loses more but he that loses his courage loses all.
Miguel de Cervantes
Miracle me no miracles.
Miguel de Cervantes
Soul of fibre and heart of oak.
Miguel de Cervantes
Think before thou speakest.
Miguel de Cervantes
The pitcher goes so often to the fountain that if gets broken.
Miguel de Cervantes
Where there's music there can be no evil.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be temperate in your drinking, remembering that too much wine cannot keep either a secret or a promise.
Miguel de Cervantes
Her father guarded her, and she guarded herself for there are no padlocks, bolts, or bars, that secure a maiden better than her own reserve.
Miguel de Cervantes
A knight errant who turns mad for a reason deserves neither merit nor thanks. The thing is to do it without cause
Miguel de Cervantes
Drink moderately, for drunkeness neither keeps a secret, nor observes a promise.
Miguel de Cervantes
Truth indeed rather alleviates than hurts, and will always bear up against falsehood, as oil does above water.
Miguel de Cervantes
Cunning cheats itself wholly, and other people partially.
Miguel de Cervantes
For the army is a school in which the miser becomes generous, and the generous prodigal miserly soldiers are like monsters, but very rarely seen.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tis ill talking of halters in the house of a man that was hanged.
Miguel de Cervantes
I do not insist, answered Don Quixote, that this is a full adventure, but it is the beginning of one, for this is the way adventures begin.
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
