Additional quotes by Baltasar Gracián

The greatest skill at cards is to know when to discard;

Folly consists not in committing Folly, but in being incapable of concealing it. All men make mistakes, but the wise conceal the blunders they have made, while fools make them public. Reputation depends more on what is hidden than on what is seen. If you can’t be good, be careful.

But a man of honour should never forget what he is because he sees what others are.

You should therefore never reveal what causes you pain or pleasure, so that the former may quickly end and the latter long continue. - Baltasar Gracián
