More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
There is a strange charm in the thoughts of a good legacy, or the hopes of an estate, which wondrously removes or at least alleviates the sorrow that men would otherwise feel for the death of friends.
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
Men of great talents, whether poets or historians, seldom escape the attacks of those who, without ever favoring the world with any production of their own, take delight in criticising the works of others.
Miguel de Cervantes
Honesty is the best policy, I will stick to that. The good shall have my hand and heart, but the bad neither foot nor fellowship. And in my mind, the main point of governing, is to make a good beginning.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be brief, for no talk can please when too long. Being prepared is half the victory.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Miguel de Cervantes
Get the better of yourself - this is the best kind of victory.
Miguel de Cervantes
The beauty of some women has days and seasons, depending upon accidents which diminish or increase it nay, the very passions of the mind naturally improve or impair it, and very often utterly destroy it.
Miguel de Cervantes
You cannot eat your cake and have your cake.
Miguel de Cervantes
There is nothing costs less than civility.
Miguel de Cervantes
Until death it is all life.
Miguel de Cervantes
Those two fatal words, Mine and Thine.
Miguel de Cervantes
Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.
Miguel de Cervantes
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.
Miguel de Cervantes
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our deeds.
Miguel de Cervantes
Heaven's help is better than early rising.
Miguel de Cervantes
Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.
Miguel de Cervantes
Health and cheerfulness make beauty
Miguel de Cervantes
To withdraw is not to run away, and to stay is no wise action, when there's more reason to fear than to hope.
Miguel de Cervantes
Love is influenced by no consideration, recognizes no restraints of reason, and is of the same nature as death, that assails alike the lofty palaces of kings and the humble cabins of shepherds and when it takes entire possession of a heart, the first thing it does is to banish fear and shame from it.
Miguel de Cervantes
