BALTASAR GRACIAN (USED PSEUDONYM LORENZO GRACIAN) Spanish philosopher (1601 - 1658)   Displaying page 1 of 2    Next Page >>  A man of honor should never forget what he is because he sees what others are.       - [Honor] A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.       - [Enemies] Admiration is the basis of ignorance.       - [Admiration] Be content to act, and leave the talking to others.       - [Action] Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.       - [Wisdom] Censure is like the lightning which strikes the highest mountains.       - [Censure] Chance has something to say in everything, even how to write a good letter.       - [Chance] Evil report carries further than any applause.       - [Evil] For a thing to remain undone nothing more is needed than to think of it done.       - [Accomplishments] Fortune pays sometimes for the intensity of her favors by the shortness of their duration.       - [Fortune] Fortune rarely accompanies anyone to the door.       - [Fortune] Good things, when short, are twice as good.       - [Brevity] Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.       - [Ability] Know or listen to those who know.       - [Learning] Mediocrity obtains more with application than superiority without it.       - [Mediocrity] Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.       - [Art] Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.       - [Nothing] Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it.       - [Evil] Nothing arouses ambition so much in the heart as the trumpet-clang of another's fame.       - [Ambition] Respect yourself if you would have others respect you.       - [Respect] Silence is the sanctuary of prudence.       - [Silence] Sometimes it proves the highest understanding not to understand.       - [Understanding] The crutch of Time accomplishes more than the club of Hercules.       - [Time] The greatest fool is he who thinks he is not one and all others are.       - [Fools] The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.       - [Power] Displaying page 1 of 2 for this author:   Next >>  [1] 2 The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
