More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.
Miguel de Cervantes
Whether it's the pot that hits the rock or the rock that hits the pot , it's the pot that will break every time
Miguel de Cervantes
Too much sanity may be madness!
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
Inasmuch as ill-deeds spring up as a spontaneous crop, they are easy to learn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who loses wealth loses much he who loses a friend loses more but he that loses his courage loses all.
Miguel de Cervantes
The pen is the language of the soul as the concepts that in it are generated, such will be its writings.
Miguel de Cervantes
Well-gotten wealth may lose itself, but the ill-gotten loses its master also.
Miguel de Cervantes
I find my familiarity with thee has bred contempt.
Miguel de Cervantes
I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Under a bad cloak there is often a good drinker
Miguel de Cervantes
Nor has his death the world deceiv'd than his wondrous life surprise d if he like a madman liv'd least he like a wise one dy'd.
Miguel de Cervantes
Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.
Miguel de Cervantes
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
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
Since we have a good loaf, let us not look for cheesecakes.
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
All women are good - good for nothing, or good for something.
Miguel de Cervantes
There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world, with as much dispatch as they would do a dish of fritters.
Miguel de Cervantes
