** ''"Ladran, luego cabalgamos"'' ("They bark, therefore we ride") or ''"Ladran, Sancho, señal que cabalgamos"'' ("They bark, Sancho, sign that we ride") is also attributed to the book but it actually comes from [[Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe Goethe's]] 1808 poem ''Kläffer'' ("Barker"; obviously, without the interjection of "Sancho": But their strident barking / is only a sign that we ride"). In its stock phrase version, it's used to say that an attack from one's enemies over a recently taken action is a sign that you are doing the right thing. There is an even more insulting version, ''"Ladran, señal que son perros"'' ("They bark, sign they are dogs"). It appears that the phrase became popular due to the famous poet Ruben Dario, who frequently used it to shut his critics regarding his origins.
** ''"A donde fueres, haz lo que vieres"'' ("Wherever you go, do as you see") and its multiple variations. A lot of people think this idiom comes from the book, or rather that it's a variation of the quote, "Cuando a Roma fueres, haz como vieres" ("When you go to Rome, do as you see"). However, although the quote does appear in the book, its origin is actually from the 4th century, and it was first uttered in Latin by the bishop [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose Ambrose of Milan]].

** Interestingly, there also an example within the work itself when Quixote threatens an enemy with the quote ''"ahora lo veredes, dijo Agrajes"'' ("as Agrajes said, you will see now"). Agrajes is a character of the famous chivalry romance ''Amadís de Gaula'', but he has no such line in the work. It's unknown whether Cervantes committed a honest mistake or was deliberately making Quixote err to further imply his insanity, but the quote became a semi-popular idiom nonetheless. A posterior version freely expanded the idiom to a rhyming ''"ahora lo veredes, dijo Agrajes con todos sus pajes"'' ("as Agrajes said with all of his pageboys, you will see now").
