More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Everyone is as God has made him, and oftentimes a great deal worse.
Miguel de Cervantes
There are two kinds of people in this world, my grandmother used to say: the Have's and the Have-not's, and she stuck to the Have's. And today, Señor Don Quixote, people are more interested in having than in knowing. An ass covered with gold makes a better impression than a horse with a packsaddle.
Miguel de Cervantes
Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.
Miguel de Cervantes
What is bought is cheaper than a gift.
Miguel de Cervantes
The eating. By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
If thou takest virtue for the rule of life, and valuest thyself upon acting in all things comfortably thereto, thou wilt have no cause to envy lords and princes for blood is inherited, but virtue is common property, and may be acquired by all it has, moreover, an intrinsic worth, which blood has not.
Miguel de Cervantes
Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.
Miguel de Cervantes
Do not eat garlic or onions for their smell will reveal that you are a peasant.
Miguel de Cervantes
Abundance, even of good things, prevents them from being valued
Miguel de Cervantes
Man have to have friends even in hell.
Miguel de Cervantes
When the head aches, all the members partake of the pain.
Miguel de Cervantes
