PRACTICAL WORDS OF A PHILOSOPHER

B gracious

Know your chief asset and cultivate it

Never exaggerate

Do nothing to make you lose respect for yourself

Have strength of spirit

Work with good tools

Keep in mind the happy ending

To jog the understand is a greater feat than to jog the memory

Know how to refuse

Be alert when seeking information

Forestall evil gossip

Be generous in action

Have a just estimate of yourself

Attain and maintain a good reputation

Do not make a show of what you have

The shortest road to being somebody is to know whom to follow

Prepare yourself in good fortune, for the bad

Do not a business of a trivial

Never cry about your woes

Know the value of reconsideration

(Baltasar Gracian)
