Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
The eating. By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece.
Miguel de Cervantes
Let the worst come to the worst.
Miguel de Cervantes
Among the attributes of God, although they are equal, mercy shines with even more brilliance than justice.
Miguel de Cervantes
He that will not when he may, When he would, he should have nay.
Miguel de Cervantes
I shall be as secret as the grave.
Miguel de Cervantes
Many littles make a much.
Miguel de Cervantes
