Miguel de Cervantes (September 29, 1547 – April 22, 1616) was a Spanish writer. He is widely considered the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the greatest novelists ever. He is best known for his novel Don Quixote.
Below we list some words of wisdom from Miguel de Cervantes.
“In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.”
“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.”
“Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.”
“The man who is prepared has his battle half fought.”
“One of the effects of fear is to disturb the senses and cause things to appear other than what they are.”
“God exalts the man who humbles himself.”
“Fortune may have yet a better success in reserve for you and they who lose today may win tomorrow.”
“The wicked are always ungrateful.”
“Wit and humor belong to genius alone.”
“A knowledge of thyself will preserve thee from vanity.”
“Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory.”
“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 criticizing the works of others.”
“Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.”
“The man who fights for his ideals is alive.”
“There is a time for some things, and a time for all things; a time for great things, and a time for small things.”
“Let us make hay while the sun shines.”
“Cunning cheats itself wholly, and other people partially.”
“Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.”
“To think that the affairs of this life always remain in the same state is a vain presumption; indeed they all seem to be perpetually changing and moving in a circular course. Spring is followed by summer, summer by autumn, and autumn by winter, which is again followed by spring, and so time continues its everlasting round. But the life of man is ever racing to its end, swifter than time itself, without hope of renewal, unless in the next that is limitless and infinite.”
“There are two kinds of beauty, one being of the soul and the other of the body, That of the soul is revealed through intelligence, modesty, right conduct, Generosity and good breeding, all of which qualities may exist in an ugly man; And when one’s gaze is fixed upon beauty of this sort and not upon that of the body, Love is usually born suddenly and violently.”
“Too much sanity may be madness!”
“Experience is the universal mother of sciences.”
“True valor lies in the middle between cowardice and rashness.”
“Many count their chickens before they are hatched; and where they expect bacon, meet with broken bones.”
“What is bought is cheaper than a gift.”
“The cleverest character in comedy is the clown, for he who would make people take him for a fool, must not be one.”
“Let us forget and forgive injuries.”
“Man appoints, and God disappoints.”
“Nothing costs less nor is cheaper than compliments of civility.”
“Among the attributes of God, although they are equal, mercy shines with even more brilliance than justice.”
