Publisher's Note
"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.

The remarkable best-seller -- a long-lost, 300-year-old book of wisdom on how to live successfully yet responsibly in a society governed by self-interest -- as acute as Machiavelli yet as humanistic and scrupulously moral as Marcus Aurelius.

Industry Reviews
"This book of {Gracian's} aphorisms is considered by some to be one of the greatest sources of wisdom ever written....On a par with Sun-Tzu's The Art of War, this treatise on getting-ahead-with-honor is rumored to be required reading in the best MBA programs."
