To think that the affairs of this life always remain in the same state is a vain presumption; indeed they all seem to be perpetually changing and moving in a circular course. Spring is followed by summer, summer by autumn, and autumn by winter, which is again followed by spring, and so time continues its everlasting round. But the life of man is ever racing to its end, swifter than time itself, without hope of renewal, unless in the next that is limitless and infinite.

I do not insist," answered Don Quixote, "that this is a full adventure, but it is the beginning of one, for this is the way adventures begin.

Do not eat garlic or onions; for their smell will reveal that you are a peasant.

Blessed be he who invented sleep, a cloak that covers all a man's thoughts.

The journey is better than the inn".

We must not stand upon trifles.
