More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
He that will not when he may, When he would, he should have nay.
Miguel de Cervantes
When God sends the dawn, he sends it for all.
Miguel de Cervantes
Blessed be those happy ages that were strangers to the dreadful fury of these devilish instruments of artillery, whose inventor I am satisfied is now in Hell, receiving the reward of his cursed invention, which is the cause that very often a cowardly base hand takes away the life of the bravest gentleman.
Miguel de Cervantes
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Hunger is the best sauce in the world.
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
Though Gods attributes are equal, yet his mercy is more attractive and pleasing in our eyes than his justice.
Miguel de Cervantes
I want you to see me naked and performing one or two dozen mad acts, which will take me less than half an hour, because if you have seen them with your own eyes, you can safely swear to any others you might wish to add.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tell me what company thou keepest and I'll tell thee what thou art.
Miguel de Cervantes
Urgent necessity prompts many to do things, at the very thoughts of which they perhaps would start at other times.
Miguel de Cervantes
Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Miguel de Cervantes
Those who'll play with cats must expect to be scratched.
Miguel de Cervantes
Heaven's help is better than early rising.
Miguel de Cervantes
There is nothing costs less than civility.
Miguel de Cervantes
Men of great talents, whether poets or historians, seldom escape the attacks of those who, without ever favoring the world with any production of their own, take delight in criticising the works of others.
Miguel de Cervantes
Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.
Miguel de Cervantes
The road to the inn is much better than the stay.
Miguel de Cervantes
Truth indeed rather alleviates than hurts, and will always bear up against falsehood, as oil does above water.
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
Honesty is the best policy, I will stick to that. The good shall have my hand and heart, but the bad neither foot nor fellowship. And in my mind, the main point of governing, is to make a good beginning.
Miguel de Cervantes
