RKS LITERATURE: How to Use Your Enemies: Be Lofty

Let Your Manner Be Lofty

A great man’s conduct should not be petty. You should never go into minute details, especially with unpleasant things, because although it’s an advantage to notice everything casually, it isn’t to want to inquire into every last thing. Triviality is annoying, and in a person’s character, tedious.

Baltasar Gracián, How to Use Your Enemies ,1647.
