Miguel de Cervantes
Truth indeed rather alleviates than hurts, and will always bear up against falsehood, as oil does above water.
Miguel de Cervantes
Can we ever have too much of a good thing?
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
For a man to attain to an eminent degree in learning costs him time, watching, hunger, nakedness, dizziness in the head, weakness in the stomach, and other inconveniences.
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
Where there's music there can be no evil.
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
Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.
Miguel de Cervantes
