Some distilled 17th century wisdom
A review of Gracian
The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle
a book of three hundred aphorisms for making one’s way in the world and achieving distinction.
It provides advice not only for modern “image makers” and “spin doctors,” but also for the candid: for those who insist that substance, not image, is what really matters. “Do, but also seem,” is Gracián’s pithy advice
The book was imitated by La Rochefoucauld, cherished by Friedrich Nietzsche, and translated into German by Arthur Schopenhauer. Nietzsche observed that “Europe has never produced anything finer or more complicated in matters of moral subtlety.”
