WOW – WORDS OF WISDOM #6

Hello followers 🙂

Today “my” Words of Wisdom were penned by famous Miguel de Cervantes. Selecting just a few was a difficult task for me since he is one of my favourite authors. I hope you will enjoy this post and join me with your entries to this photo and quote challenge. Cheers!

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness.

To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!

(or in original: “Cuando la vida misma parece loca, ¿quién sabe dónde está la locura? Quizás ser demasiado práctico es una locura. Renunciar a los sueños, esto puede ser una locura. Demasiada cordura puede ser una locura, y lo más loco de todo: ver la vida como es, y no como debería ser!”

And the my favourite:

He who reads a lot and travels a lot, sees a lot and knows a lot. i.e. “El que lee mucho y anda mucho, ve mucho y sabe mucho“
