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
Tomorrow will be a new day.
Miguel de Cervantes
The absent feel and fear every ill.
Miguel de Cervantes
The ass will carry his load, but not a double load ride not a free horse to death.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge. It is no bread and butter of mine every man for himself, and God for us all.
Miguel de Cervantes
Great persons are able to do great kindnesses.
Miguel de Cervantes
If thou takest virtue for the rule of life, and valuest thyself upon acting in all things comfortably thereto, thou wilt have no cause to envy lords and princes for blood is inherited, but virtue is common property, and may be acquired by all it has, moreover, an intrinsic worth, which blood has not.
Miguel de Cervantes
The pen is the tongue of the mind.
Miguel de Cervantes
But do not give it to a lawyer's clerk to write, for they use a legal hand that Satan himself will not understand.
Miguel de Cervantes
Jealousy sees things always with magnifying glasses which make little things large, of dwarfs giants, of suspicions truths.
Miguel de Cervantes
Soul of fibre and heart of oak.
Miguel de Cervantes
A good name is better than bags of gold.
Miguel de Cervantes
Pray, look better, sir... those things yonder are no giants, but windmills.
Miguel de Cervantes
Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.
Miguel de Cervantes
There were but two families in the world, Have-much and Have-little.
Miguel de Cervantes
Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.
Miguel de Cervantes
Where one door shuts another opens.
Miguel de Cervantes
