“Be open to suggestion, no one is so perfect that they may not need advice from time to time.”
― Baltasar Gracián

“There is no defect that someone does not value, and you need not lower your opinion because a thing doesn’t please some people:”
― Baltasar Gracián, The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle

Christopher Hitchens
“What do you most value in your friends?
Their continued existence.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

Baltasar Gracián
“Believe your heart, especially when it's already tried and tested. Never contradict it, for it can usually foresee what matters most. It is your private oracle.”
― Baltasar Gracián, The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle

Baltasar Gracián
“Don't so belong to others that you don't belong to yourself. Even friends should not be abused; you shouldn't want more from them than they're willing to concede. Any extreme is a vice, and especially in dealings with others. Sensible moderation is the best way to maintain goodwill and respect because ever-precious dignity won't be worn away.”
― Baltasar Gracián, How to Use Your Enemies
