The Art of Worldly Wisdom - Balthasar Gracian

Part life-coach, part Machiavelli, part Yoda, Balthasar Gracian [1601-1658], a Jesuit priest, wrote this collection of pithy sayings four centuries ago.
Gracian speaks to the twenty-first century as well as the seventeenth.
It's only a matter of time before someone markets Gracian's life advice to busy executives, like Sun Tzu or the Book of Five Rings (if it hasn't been already).
In the meantime, Gracian can be our little secret.
The Art of Worldly Wisdom is a book written in 1647 by Baltasar Gracin y Morales, better known as Baltasar Gracian.
It is a collection of 300 maxims, each with a commentary, on various topics giving advice and guidance on how to live fully, advance socially, and be a better person, that became popular throughout Europe.
It was translated by Joseph Jacobs in 1892.
