Wednesday Wisdom #9: Life is a warfare against malice.

I’m not agreeing with Gracián that everyone is full of malice. But you need to be on your guard and mix things up a bit sometimes… :-p

Wednesday Wisdom #8: Excellence needs some polish

Another quotation I love is purportedly by Oliver Cromwell, once Lord Protector of England (in fact the only one we’ve ever had). He said:

He who stops being better stops being good.

I think these two quotations complement one another. 🙂
