Miguel de Cervantes

Time ripens all things. No man is born wise.

By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece.

Can we ever have too much of a good thing?

There's not the least thing can be said or done, but people will talk and find fault.

Fear is sharp-sighted, and can see things underground, and much more in the skies.

I must speak the truth, and nothing but the truth.

Let none presume to tell me that the pen is preferable to the sword.

Every man is as Heaven made him, and sometimes a great deal worse.

The pen is the tongue of the soul; as are the thoughts engendered there, so will be the things written.

Tomorrow will be a new day.

Fortune leaves always some door open to come at a remedy.

Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.

Let each man say what he chooses; if because of this I am criticized by the ignorant, I shall not be chastised by the learned.

An honest man's word is as good as his bond.
