More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
Laws that only threaten, and are not kept, become like the log that was given to the frogs to be their king, which they feared at first, but soon scorned and trampled on.
Miguel de Cervantes
Give the devil his due.
Miguel de Cervantes
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who's down one day can be up the next, unless he really wants to stay in bed, that is.
