Know When to Put Something Aside

„One of life‘s great lessons lies in knowing how to refuse, and it is even more important to refuse yourself, both to business and to others. There are certain inessential activities – moths of precious time – and it is worse to busy yourself with the trivial than to do nothing. To be prudent, it isn‘t enough not to meddle in other people‘s business: you must also keep them for meddling in yours. Don‘t belong so much to others that you stop belonging to yourself. You shouldn‘t abuse your friends, or ask them for more than they give on their own initiative. All excess is a vice, especially in your dealings with others. Wth this judicious moderation you will stay in the good graces of others and keep their esteem; and propriety, which is precious, will be worn away. Retain your freedom to never testify against your own good taste.“

Baltasar Gracian, 1650
