Gracián: Oráculo Manual 4

1 El saber y el valor alternan grandeza. 2 Porque lo son, hacen inmortales; 3 tanto es uno quanto sabe, y el sabio todo lo puede. 4 Hombre sin noticias, mundo a oscuras. 5 Consejo y fuerzas, ojos y manos; 6 sin valor es estéril la sabiduría.

1 Knowledge and courage take turns at greatness. 2 Because they are immortal, they make men immortal; 3 one is as great as what he knows, and the wise man can do everything. 4 Man without knowledge, world in darkness. 5 Judgment and strength, eyes and hands; 6 without courage knowledge is sterile.
