Baltasar Gracian Quote
 | “Don't show off every day, or you'll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.” ―Baltasar Gracian Source/Notes: The Art of Worldly Wisdom (2010 edition), Random House LLC - ISBN: 9780385421317 |

Quote of the day
“Argument almost always leaves behind a sore feeling in the heart of the one who has been worsted. By loving teaching, by Christ-like living, we are to win this people for our Lord. They do not understand what disinterested love and unselfishness mean: you are to go and live it amont them.”
