Features: Baltasar Gracián - This 17th-century Jesuit priest, full of worldly enthusiasm, detested human folly. He spoke of the possibility of achieving perfection in all things, and if supplemented with flexible skills, good would triumph over evil. All this depends on one's own resources and post-natal diligence, vigilance, self-control, self-awareness, and the way of self-cultivation.
