Baltasar Gracian
Share weight and woe, for misfortune falls with double force on him that stands alone.
Baltasar Gracian
A man of honour should never forget what he is because he sees what others are.
Baltasar Gracian

Baltasar Gracian
Wisdom and courage make mutual contributions to greatness.
Baltasar Gracian
One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground
Baltasar Gracian
If you are wise, live as you can if you cannot, live as you would.
