The best remedy for disturbances is to let them run their course, for so they quiet down.
Baltasar GracianWise men appreciate all men, for they see the good in each and know how hard it is to make anything good.
Baltasar GracianDo not be inaccessible. None is so perfect that he does not need at times the advice of others. He is an incorrigible ass who will never listen to any one. Even the most surpassing intellect should find a place for friendly counsel. Sovereignty itself must learn to lean. There are some that are incorrigible simply because they are inaccessible: They fall to ruin because none dares to extricate them. The highest should have the door open for friendship; it may prove the gate of help. A friend must be free to advise, and even to upbraid, without feeling embarrassed.
