More quotes by 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
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown.
Miguel de Cervantes
The little birds have God for their caterer.
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
Get out of harms way.
Miguel de Cervantes
In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.
Miguel de Cervantes
He had a face like a blessing.
Miguel de Cervantes

They can expect nothing but their labor for their pains. - Cervantes
Miguel de Cervantes
He that will not when he may, When he would, he should have nay.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.
Miguel de Cervantes
Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.
Miguel de Cervantes
Blessed be those happy ages that were strangers to the dreadful fury of these devilish instruments of artillery, whose inventor I am satisfied is now in Hell, receiving the reward of his cursed invention, which is the cause that very often a cowardly base hand takes away the life of the bravest gentleman.
Miguel de Cervantes
Does the devil possess you? You're leaping over the hedge before you come at the stile.
Miguel de Cervantes
There were but two families in the world, Have-much and Have-little.
Miguel de Cervantes
All sorrows are less with bread.
Miguel de Cervantes
