In The Art of Worldly Wisdom, Baltasar GraciÃ¡n advises people of all walks of life how to approach political, professional, and personal situations in a dog-eat-dog world. Comprised of three hundred pithy aphorisms, this influential work of philosophy offers thought-provoking and accessible advice. Some subjects include â€œNever Compete,â€ â€œThe Art of Letting Things Alone,â€ and â€œAnticipate Injuries and Turn Them into Favours.â€

Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims by FranÃ§ois de La Rochefoucauld offers hundreds of brief, brutally honest observations of humankind and its self-serving nature. The perfect read for any realistâ€”or anyone with the desire to evaluate their moral standingâ€”this edition includes three supplements with additional maxims and essays.
Â
In Maxims and Reflections, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe takes a detour from his usual literary endeavors and offers snippets of his musings on life, literature, science, nature, politics, and the human condition. Essential for fans of Goetheâ€™s works, it provides unique insight into the mind of the last true Renaissance man.
