Miguel de Cervantes
Old, that's an affront no woman can well bear.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
From reading too much, and sleeping too little, his brain dried up on him and he lost his judgment.
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
They who lose today may win tomorrow.
Miguel de Cervantes
There's no taking trout with dry breeches.
