The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780385421317)

"Use human means as though divine ones did not exist, and use divine means as though there were no human ones". So wrote the Jesuit scholar Baltazar Gracian some 300 years ago, in a book that will be compared to Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Machiavelli's The Prince. A new translation of long lost wisdom on living successfully yet responsibly.
