  9. A quotation from Gracián

    The intensity of the favour of fortune is often balanced by the shortness of its duration, for fortune gets tired of carrying any one very long upon her shoulders.
     
    [Recompénsase tal vez la brevedad de la duración con la intensión del favor. Cánsase la fortuna de llevar a uno a cuestas tan a la larga.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 38 (1647) [tr. Duff (1877)]

  13. A quotation from Gracian

    Say farewell to luck when winning: it is the way of the gamblers of reputation: quite as important as a gallant advance is a well-planned retreat, wherefore lock up your winnings when they are enough, or when great.
     
    [Saberse dejar ganando con la fortuna. Es de tahúres de reputación. Tanto importa una bella retirada como una bizarra acometida; un poner en cobro las hazañas cuando fueren bastantes, cuando muchas.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 38 (1647) [tr. Fischer (1937)]

  17. "Know how to withdraw.

    To be occupied in what does not concern you is worse than doing nothing. It is not enough for a careful man not to interfere with others, he must see that they do not interfere with him. With friends, their help should not be abused or more demanded from them than they will grant. A wise moderation preserves the goodwill and esteem of all and that precious boon of courtesy is not gradually worn away."
