True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
From Baltasar Gracian
To be at ease is better than to be at business. Nothing really belongs to us but time, which even he has who has nothing else.
Let the first impulse pass, wait for the second.
It is a great piece of skill to know how to guide your luck even while waiting for it.
Luck can be assisted. It is not all chance with the wise.
Begin with another's to end with your own.
Respect yourself if you would have others respect you.
When desire dies, fear is born.
To equal a predecessor, one must have twice they worth.
To oblige persons often costs little and helps much.
