(205 votes) If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.Miguel De Cervantes 1547-1616, Spanish Novelist, Dramatist, Poet Rate this quote: (bad)<> (good)

(198 votes) 'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.Miguel De Cervantes 1547-1616, Spanish Novelist, Dramatist, Poet Rate this quote: (bad)<> (good)

(177 votes) Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.Miguel De Cervantes 1547-1616, Spanish Novelist, Dramatist, Poet Rate this quote: (bad)<> (good)
