“ He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything. ”
Never compete with someone who has nothing to lose.
~ Baltasar Gracián
The truths that matter most to us come always half spoken.
Cunning grows in deceit at seeing itself discovered, and tries to deceive with truth itself.
A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
