I Did Not Make It Up
It was Baltasar Gracian, (1601-1658)
Gracian was 4 years old
when Miguel de Cervantes
published Don Quixote in 1605.
(I threw that Quixote bit in for Wizzo because
he’s got that Quixote fixation, you know?
I toss him a bone like that now and then.
It helps keep me out of trouble.)
