Text Quotes
Be known for pleasing others, especially if you govern them. Ruling other has one advantage: you can do more good than anyone else (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)

It is a novel kind of supremacy, the best that life can offer, to have as servants by skill those who by nature are our masters (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Know how to choose well. Most of life depends thereon. It needs good taste and correct judgment, for which neither intellect nor study suffices (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)

The best remedy for disturbances is to let them run their course, for so they quiet down (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Never risk your reputation on a single shot, for if you miss the loss is irreparable (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)

To find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
If there is nothing left to desire, there is everything to fear, an unhappy state of happiness (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Watchfulness is the only guard against cunning. Be intent on his intentions. Many succeed in making others do their own affairs, and unless you possess the key to their motives you may at any moment be forced to take their chestnuts out of the fire to the damage of your own fingers (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
The wise have a solid sense of silence and the ability to keep a storehouse of secrets. Their capacity and character are respected (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
There is no beauty unaided, no excellence that does not sink to the barbarous, unless saved by art (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Attain and maintain a reputation, for it is the usufruct of fame. A stiff climb, for it is the issue of excellence, as rare as mediocrity is common (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Rate the intensive above the extensive. The perfect does not lie in quantity, but in quality (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Treat your enemies with courtesy, and you’ll see how valuable it really is. It costs little but pays a nice dividend: those who honor are honored. Politeness and a sense of honor have this advantage: we bestow them on others without losing a thing (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
La galantería y la honra tienen esta ventaja, que se quedan: aquélla en quien la usa, ésta en quien la haze (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Many pleasant things are better when they belong to someone else.... When things belong to others, we enjoy them twice as much, without the risk of losing them, and with the pleasure of novelty (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Politeness and a sense of honor have this advantage: we bestow them on others without losing a thing (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
A man is judged by his friends, for the wise and the foolish have never agreed (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Possession hinders enjoyment. It merely gives you the right to keep things for or from others, and thus you gain more enemies than friends (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
He who laughs at everything is as big a fool as he who weeps at everything (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
The passions are the humors of the mind, and the least excess sickens our judgment. If the disease spreads to the mouth, your reputation will be in danger (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
There is no revenge like oblivion, for it is the entombment of the unworthy in the dust of their own nothingness (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
Keep expectation alive. Keep stirring it up. Let much promise more, and great deeds herald greater (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
There are rules to luck, not everything is chance for the wise; luck can be helped by skill (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
There are friendships merely for pleasure, some for the exchange of ideas. Rarest are those friends of one’s inmost self (Baltasar Gracian Quotes)
