Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.
Miguel de Cervantes
Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.
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
Old, that's an affront no woman can well bear.
Miguel de Cervantes
But do not give it to a lawyer's clerk to write, for they use a legal hand that Satan himself will not understand.
Miguel de Cervantes
History is the depository of great actions, the witness of what is past, the example and instructor of the present, and monitor to the future.
Miguel de Cervantes
