Behind the cross is the devil....

Behind the cross is the devil.

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

Every tooth in a man's head is...

Every tooth in a man's head is more valuable than a diamond.

Be brief, for no talk can plea...

Be brief, for no talk can please when too long. Being prepared is half the victory.

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

Reading Don Quixote can be com...

Reading Don Quixote can be compared to an indefinite visit from your most impossible senior relative, with all his pranks, dirty habits, unstoppable reminiscences, and terrible cronies. When the experience is over, and the old boy checks out at last (on page 846 - the prose wedged tight, with no breaks for dialogue), you will shed tears all right; not tears of relief or regret but tears of pride. You made it, despite all that 'Don Quixote' could do.

Tell me what company thou keep...

Tell me what company thou keepst, and I'll tell thee what thou art.

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

The fear thou art in, Sancho,...

The fear thou art in, Sancho,' said Don Quixote, 'prevents thee from seeing or hearing correctly, for one of the effects of fear is to derange the senses and make things appear different from what they are; if thou art in such fear, withdraw to one side and leave me to myself, for alone I suffice to bring victory to that side to which I shall give my aid;' and so saying he gave Rocinante the spur, and putting the lance in rest, shot down the slope like a thunderbolt.

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

By God and upon my conscience,...

By God and upon my conscience, said the devil, I never observed it, for my mind is occupied with so many different things that I was forgetting the main thing I came about. This demon must be an honest fellow and a good Christian, said Sancho; for if he wasn't he wouldn't swear by God and his conscience; I feel sure now there must be good souls even in hell itself.

What man can pretend to know the riddle of a woman's mind?

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

I do not insist,' answered Don Quixote, 'that this is a full adventure, but it is the beginning of one, for this is the way adventures begin.

Blessed be he who invented sleep, a cloak that covers all a man's thoughts.

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

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 Cervantes 520 quotes

The virtuous woman must be tre...

The virtuous woman must be treated like a relic - adored, but not handled; she should be guarded and prized, like a fine flower-garden, the beauty and fragrance of which the owner allows others to enjoy only at a distance, and through iron walls.

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

He that will not when he may, ...

He that will not when he may, When he would, he should have nay.

Great people create great acts of kindness.

No man is more than another unless he does more than another.

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 Cervantes 520 quotes

Be temperate in your drinking,...

Be temperate in your drinking, remembering that too much wine cannot keep either a secret or a promise.

Miguel Cervantes 520 quotes

When life itself seems lunatic...

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical may be madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness ...Maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Do not eat garlic or onions; for their smell will reveal that you are a peasant.

Make yourself honey and the flies will devour you.
