More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge. It is no bread and butter of mine every man for himself, and God for us all.
Miguel de Cervantes
Make yourself honey and the flies will devour you.
Miguel de Cervantes
Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them.
Miguel de Cervantes
There's no love lost between us.
Miguel de Cervantes
Sleep is the best cure for waking troubles.
Miguel de Cervantes
We must not stand upon trifles.
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
In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR. Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world.
Miguel de Cervantes
Valor lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.
Miguel de Cervantes
What a man has, so much he is sure of.
Miguel de Cervantes
It requires a long time to know anyone.
Miguel de Cervantes
A person dishonored is worst than dead.
Miguel de Cervantes
My heart is wax molded as she pleases, but enduring as marble to retain.
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
Those two fatal words, Mine and Thine.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who has the judge for his father goes into court with an easy mind.
Miguel de Cervantes
The very remembrance of my former misfortune proves a new one to me.
Miguel de Cervantes
You must not think, sir, to catch old birds with chaff.
Miguel de Cervantes
She who desires to see, desires also to be seen.
Miguel de Cervantes
Love is a power too strong to be overcome by anything but flight.
Miguel de Cervantes
