Quote by Baltasar Gracian (1604-1658)

• A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

• Don't take the wrong side of an argument just because your opponent has taken the right side.

• The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

• Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.

• A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

• It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterward.
