More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
The stomach carries the heart, and not the heart the stomach.
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
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side.
Miguel de Cervantes
By such innovations are languages enriched, when the words are adopted by the multitude, and naturalized by custom.
Miguel de Cervantes
Fortune leaves always some door open to come at a remedy.
Miguel de Cervantes
I know what's what, and have always taken care of the main chance.
Miguel de Cervantes
Laws that only threaten, and are not kept, become like the log that was given to the frogs to be their king, which they feared at first, but soon scorned and trampled on.
Miguel de Cervantes
Honesty's the best policy.
Miguel de Cervantes
You must not think, sir, to catch old birds with chaff.
Miguel de Cervantes
I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.
Miguel de Cervantes
Get out of harms way.
Miguel de Cervantes
All persons are not discreet enough to know how to take things by the right handle.
Miguel de Cervantes
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Miguel de Cervantes
A shy face is better than a forward heart.
Miguel de Cervantes
Love is a power too strong to be overcome by anything but flight.
Miguel de Cervantes
In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR. Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world.
Miguel de Cervantes
I find my familiarity with thee has bred contempt.
Miguel de Cervantes
