More quotes by 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
Be brief, for no talk can please when too long. Being prepared is half the victory.
Miguel de Cervantes
The pen is the tongue of the soul as are the thoughts engendered there, so will be the things written.
Miguel de Cervantes
Captivity is the greatest of all evils that can befall one.
Miguel de Cervantes
Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.
Miguel de Cervantes
Old, that's an affront no woman can well bear.
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
Does the devil possess you? You're leaping over the hedge before you come at the stile.
Miguel de Cervantes
The guts carry the feet, not the feet the guts.
Miguel de Cervantes
No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.
Miguel de Cervantes
When we leave this world, and are laid in the earth, the prince walks as narrow a path as the day-laborer.
Miguel de Cervantes
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?
Miguel de Cervantes
I'll turn over a new leaf.
Miguel de Cervantes
When a man says, Get out of my house! what would you have with my wife? there is no answer to be made.
Miguel de Cervantes
Abundance, even of good things, prevents them from being valued
Miguel de Cervantes
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Miguel de Cervantes
Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.
Miguel de Cervantes
Troubles take wing for the man who can sing.
Miguel de Cervantes
Her father guarded her, and she guarded herself for there are no padlocks, bolts, or bars, that secure a maiden better than her own reserve.
Miguel de Cervantes
The man who fights for his ideals is alive.
Miguel de Cervantes
