Baltasar Gracián
“Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.”
Baltasar Gracian

Baltasar Gracián
“Keep the extent of your abilities unknown.The wise man does not allow his knowledge and abilities to be sounded to the bottom, if he desires to be honored at all. He allows you to know them but not to comprehend them. No one must know the extent of his abilities, lest he be disappointed. No one ever has an opportunity of fathoming him entirely. For guesses and doubts about the extent of his talents arouse more veneration than accurate knowledge of them, be they ever so great.”
Baltasar Gracián, The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle

G.K. Chesterton
“Modern art has to be what is called ‘intense.’ it is not easy to define being intense; but, roughly speaking, it means saying only one thing at a time, and saying it wrong.”
G.K. Chesterton, Alarms and Discursions

“When desire dies,fear is born”

“It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged. ”
