Give the devil his due.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
The pen is the tongue of the soul as are the thoughts engendered there, so will be the things written.

Tis ill talking of halters in the house of a man that was hanged.
Miguel de Cervantes
She wanted, with her fickleness, to make my destruction constant I want, by trying to destroy myself, to satisfy her desire.
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.
