Quotes From
Miguel de Cervantes
"Diligence is the mother of good fortune."
"Good actions ennoble us, we are the sons of our own deeds."
"He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he who loses courage loses all."
"He who sings frightens away his ills."
"The pen is the tongue of the mind."
Every tooth in a man's head is more valuable than a diamond.
Great persons are able to do great kindnesses.
Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.
He who sings scares away his woes.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
~Turkish Proverb
