WORDS OF WISDOM

Words of Wisdom are "aphorisms too delicious not to share with friends and colleagues, too penetrating not to hide from enemies and rivals."  I have collected the best maxims that achieve distinction and perfection, and these are the following.

What's New

Maxim #1 All has reached perfection, and becoming a true person is the greatest perfection of all.

Maxim #2 Character and intelligence.

Maxim #3 Keep matters in suspense.

Maxim #4 Knowledge and courage take turns at greatness

Maxim #11 Associate with those you can learn from.

Maxim #27 Better to be intensive than extensive. Perfection isn't quantity, but quality. Very good things have always been small and rare.

Maxim #48 You are as much as a real person as you are deep.

Source: These maxims are taken from the book "The Art of Worldly Wisdom" by Baltasar Gracian, translated by Christopher Maurer, 1992.
