Danh ngôn của Baltasar Gracian (Sứ mệnh: 1)

Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance.
Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself.
He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong.
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 communicates his secret to another makes himself that other's slave.

Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.
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.

Always leave something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.
