More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
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
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
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

Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
Jealousy sees things always with magnifying glasses which make little things large, of dwarfs giants, of suspicions truths.
Miguel de Cervantes
Well-gotten wealth may lose itself, but the ill-gotten loses its master also.
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

Miguel de Cervantes
No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.
Miguel de Cervantes
Jests that give pains are no jests.
Miguel de Cervantes
A Man Without Honor is Worse than Dead.
Miguel de Cervantes
The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the sum of his own works.
Miguel de Cervantes
Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.
Miguel de Cervantes
Arms are my ornaments, warfare my repose.
Miguel de Cervantes
What a man has, so much he is sure of.
Miguel de Cervantes
A private sin is not so prejudicial in this world, as a public indecency.
Miguel de Cervantes
I shall be as secret as the grave.
Miguel de Cervantes
She fights and vanquishes in me, and I live and breathe in her, and I have life and being.
Miguel de Cervantes
