Baltasar Gracian
-
A bad manner spoils everything, even reason and justice a good one supplies everything, gilds a No, sweetens a truth, and adds a touch of beauty to old age itself.
-
He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.
-
Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.
-
Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong.
-
Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.
