More quotes by 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
Great persons are able to do great kindnesses.
Miguel de Cervantes
Historians ought to be precise, faithful, and unprejudiced and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should make them swerve from the way of truth.
Miguel de Cervantes
Is it possible your pragmatical worship should not know that the comparisons made between wit and wit, courage and courage, beauty and beauty, birth and birth, are always odious and ill taken?.
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

Miguel de Cervantes
Liberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven has bestowed on man with it we cannot compare the treasures which the earth contains or the sea conceals for liberty, as for honor, we can and ought to risk our lives and, on for the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall man.
Miguel de Cervantes
