More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Arms are my ornaments, warfare my repose.
Miguel de Cervantes
There is nothing costs less than civility.
Miguel de Cervantes
All persons are not discreet enough to know how to take things by the right handle.
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

Miguel de Cervantes
He who reforms, God assists.
Miguel de Cervantes
Sorrow was made for man, not for beasts yet if men encourage melancholy too much, they become no better than beasts.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who loses wealth loses much he who loses a friend loses more but he that loses his courage loses all.
Miguel de Cervantes
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?
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
Hunger is the best sauce in the world.
Miguel de Cervantes
It is good to live and learn.
Miguel de Cervantes
He who sings frightens away his ills.
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
By such innovations are languages enriched, when the words are adopted by the multitude, and naturalized by custom.
Miguel de Cervantes
Valor lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.
Miguel de Cervantes
The guts carry the feet, not the feet the guts.
Miguel de Cervantes
Too much sanity may be madness!
Miguel de Cervantes
Translation from one language to another is like viewing a piece of tapestry on the wrong side where though the figures are distinguishable yet there are so many ends and threads that the beauty and exactness of the work is obscured.
Miguel de Cervantes
To withdraw is not to run away, and to stay is no wise action, when there's more reason to fear than to hope.
Miguel de Cervantes
