Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

y Sancho, aunque aborrecía el ser gobernador, como queda dicho, todavía deseaba volver a mandar y a ser obedecido, que esta mala ventura trae consigo el mando, aunque sea de burlas.

Aún entre los demonios hay unos peores que otros, y entre muchos malos hombres suele haber alguno bueno.

-Señor- respondió Sancho-, que el retirar no es huir, ni el esperar es cordura, cuando el peligro sobrepuja a la esperanza, y de sabios es guardarse hoy para mañana, y no aventurarse todo en un día.

...your grace's words have been like manure spread on the barren ground of my dry and uncultivated mind. - Miguel de Cervantes
