Miguel de Cervantes on sleep

I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.

The pen is the tongue of the soul; as are the thoughts engendered there, so will be the things written.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune

When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, ‘Did you sleep well?’ I said ‘No, I made a few mistakes.’

It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterward.

Baltasar Gracián1601–1658

A few hours of mountain climbing turn a villain and a saint into two rather equal creature. Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity, and liberty is added eventually by sleep.
