I highly recommend checking out the original Spanish text if you can read it. These are quotes from the novel "Don Quixote" by Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes.

| | "I am almost frighted out of my seven senses." |
| | "The ass will carry his load, but not a double load; ride not a free horse to death." |
| | "Well, now, there's a remedy for everything except death." |
| | "Didn't I tell you, Don Quixote, sir, to turn back, for they were not armies you were going to attack, but flocks of sheep?" |
| | "The painter Orbaneja of Ubeda, if he chanced to draw a cock, he wrote under it, "This is a cock," lest the people should take it for a fox." |
