More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Troubles take wing for the man who can sing.
Miguel de Cervantes
Get out of harms way.
Miguel de Cervantes
Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.
Miguel de Cervantes
Well-gotten wealth may lose itself, but the ill-gotten loses its master also.
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
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
I have always heard, Sancho, that doing good to base fellows is like throwing water into the sea.
Miguel de Cervantes
Translation from one language to another is like viewing a piece of tapestry on the wrong side where though the figures are distinguishable yet there are so many ends and threads that the beauty and exactness of the work is obscured.
Miguel de Cervantes
There is no remembrance which time does not obliterate, nor pain which death does not terminate.
Miguel de Cervantes
God bears with the wicked, but not forever.
Miguel de Cervantes
No man is more than another unless he does more than another.
Miguel de Cervantes
I can tell where my own shoe pinches me.
Miguel de Cervantes
Laziness never arrived at the attainment of a good wish.
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
Let the worst come to the worst.
Miguel de Cervantes
The eating. By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece.
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
Blessed be he who invented sleep, a cloak that covers all a man's thoughts.
Miguel de Cervantes
I had rather munch a crust of brown bread and an onion in a corner, without any more ado, or ceremony, than feed upon turkey at another man's table.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tis ill talking of halters in the house of a man that was hanged.
Miguel de Cervantes
