Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

Porque has de saber, Sancho, si no lo sabes, que dos cosas solas incitan a amar, más que otras, que son la mucha hermosura y la buena fama, y estas dos cosas se hallan consumadamente en Dulcinea, porque en ser hermosa, ninguna le iguala, y en la buena fama, pocas le llegan

As regards your government of yourself and your household, Sancho, my first piece of advice is to be clean and to cut your fingernails, and not to let them grow long, as some people do, moved by ignorance to believe that long nails make their hand look beautiful, as if those appendages, those excrescences that they leave uncut have any right to be called fingernails at all, because they are more like talons of a kestrel: a monstrous and filthy abuse.
