Know how to keep anticipation alive: always strive to feed it, by letting the much promise more, and the one achievement be the announcement only of a greater. Put not all your reserves into the first throw; the great trick is to dole out strength, and to dole out mind, in such a fashion as to bring forward increasingly the fulfillment of what was expected of you.
Baltasar GracianKeep expectation alive. Keep stirring it up. Let much promise more, and great deeds herald greater.
Baltasar GracianDo not make mistakes about character. Better be cheated in the price than in the quality of goods.
