• MAXIMS.
[Translated from BAL TASAII GRACIAN, a Spanish Writer
whojourished in the seventeenth century.]

" It is better not to miss one's aim once, than to succeed-well'
a hundred times."

When the sun shines no one observe's it; but when he is
eclipsed every body notices it. The vulgar do not reckon the
blows thou givest, but only those which are ineffectual. Wick-
ed men are more known by murmuring complaints than good
men by approbation. Although success may accompany seve-
ral efforts, yetit will not efface one failure. Be, then, not de-
ceived ; and be assured that envy will remark all thy faults, but
not one of thy praise-worthy actions.
" Let the end be pursued."

Some are industrious only in beginning, and leave every
thing unfinished. They invent, but they do not continue to
the end ; their minds are so inconstant. They never acquire
reputation, since they have no steadiness to complete their de-
signs. The defect of Spaniards is impatience exhibited in their,
pursuits, whilst the Germans, on the contrary, are constant and`
patient in them. This is their virtue. These see the end of
affairs, but affairs see the end of those. The former labour
until they have conquered a difficulty, and then they remain
contented with having conquered it ; they know not how 'to
profit by the victory ;they show they can do it, but they show
also they will not. II the design is good, why not finish the
work ? If bad, why begin it ?

" Never give satisfaction to those who do not demand it."
If too great satisfaction iS given even to those who,ask it, that-
is a fault. To apologise before required is to accuse oneself.—
If one is let blood when in good health, it indicates sickness,
to say the least of it. A voluntary excuse awakens discon-
tentment that slept. A prudent man will not show in the
slightest degree that he perceives'a suspicion arising in another,
since it is encouraging resentment at his own expence ; he
will only endeavour to • stifle that suspicion by honourable
conduct.
" Abuse not favours."
iio not employinuch interest to obtain trifling things, lest
you waste what might be useful. Great friends are only to be
solicited on important occasions. Let the sacred anchor be pre-
served for the last extremity. If we are prodigal of the great
when little is sought, where will the resource when necessity
urges ? In these times there is nothing more valuable than
patrons *, nor any thing more precious than favour; it makes
anti mars, even to giving intellect and taking it away. For-
tune has always been as cruel to sages as Nature and Fame
have been favourable to them. It is better to preserve
friends than riches. The first step -to ascend to fortune is
more difficult to mount than a mountain. All the difficulty
is in this first ascent, because Favour, the Prime Minister
and confidant of Fortune, is there posted. She holds out her
hand to :assist sonic in their ascent, but never aids a good man,
nor one who really merits it. She invariably selects the worst.
As soon as she perceives a fool or an ignorant man, she beckons
him to her, but she permits a thousand wise men to wait. And
although every body complained of such condlict,yet it amounts
to nothing, since she unheedingly hears all that is uttered.=
-Why, 0 Riches, do you quarrel with good men ? Why do you
not aid them in time of need? Is it true, as every body cries, that
you are always with the vulgar, and that you accompany the
greates scoundrels upon' earth? To these questions Riches replies,
" If good men see me so seldom among them, it is their fault,
and not mine. It is because they do not earnestly seek me.—
They deceive not; they cheat not; they lie not; they cajole
not ; they corrupt not ; they do not suck the blood of others ;
they do not flatter ; they are not intriguing men. How then
can thay become possessed of me, since they neglect the means
of obtaining me ?'
Do not always olloiv the same track."
It is well sometimes to vary your course in order to frustrate
curiosity, especially that of your envious neighbours ; for if they
remark the uniformity of your actions, they will learn how to
injure your enterprizes. It is very, easy to shoot the bird which
flies in a direct line, but not so easy the one whose flight is in an
irregular one. Neither should the same trick be always resort-
ed to, since it would soon be discovered. Malice is continually
on the watch, and it requires much skill 'to elude its prying
search. A good player never plays the card that his adversary
expects, and still less the one he wishes. ,

* Neque enim cuiquam, says the younger Pliny, Ep. 23.
lib. 6. tarn clarum statim ingenium est, ut possit emergere,
nisi illi materia, occasio, fautor etiam commendatorcpre con-
tingat—i. e. There is no one who has sufficient intellect and
good fortune to advance himself, if he has not, besides the
matter and occasion, also a patron to introduce him into notice,
