Que el aviso haga antes viso de recuerdo de lo que olvidava que de luz de lo que no alcançó. - Baltasar Gracián

They make the greatest show of what they have done, who have done least.

This is the single advantage of power, that it enables the holder to do more good.

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.
