Additional quotes by Baltasar Gracián

Not all were born into a period worthy of them.

In Prosperity prepare for Adversity. It is both wiser and easier to collect winter stores in summer. In prosperity favours are cheap and friends are many. ’Tis well therefore to keep them for more unlucky days, for adversity costs dear and has no helpers.

There is always time to add a word, never to withdraw one.

Be slow in enjoyment, quick at work, for men see work ended with pleasure, pleasure ended with regret. clxxv - Baltasar Gracián
