Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

»Sea moderado tu sueño, que el que no madruga con el sol, no goza del día; y advierte, ¡oh Sancho!, que la diligencia es madre de la buena ventura, y la pereza, su contraria, jamás llegó al término que pide un buen deseo.

"Happy the age, happy the time, to which the ancients gave the name of golden, not because in that fortunate age the gold so coveted in this our iron one was gained without toil, but because they that lived in it knew not the two words "mine" and "thine"!"

Yo, que siempre trabajo y me desvelo
por parecer que tengo de poeta
la gracia que no quiso darme el cielo,
quisiera despachar a la estafeta
mi alma, o por los aires, y ponella
sobre las cumbres del nombrado Oeta,
pues, descubriendo desde allí la bella
corriente de Aganipe, en un saltico
pudiera el labio remojar en ella,
y quedar del licor süave y rico
el pancho lleno, y ser de allí adelante
poeta ilustre, o al menos magnifico.
Mas mil inconvenientes al instante
se me ofrecieron, y quedó el deseo
en cierne, desvalido e ignorante.
Porque [en] la piedra que en mis hombros veo,
que la Fortuna me cargó pesada,
mis mal logradas esperanzas leo.
