Eisenschiml Reference: The Art of Worldly Wisdom, Three Hundred Precepts for Success Based on
the Original Work of Baltasar Gracian

"Life is becoming more complex each day; the future
cannot be forseen by the present; the present has not
been forseen by the past. Our store of knowledge has
increased so much that it is now more difficult to be
a well-read person than it was formerly to become a
world-renowned savant.
It was with an introduction like this, that Baltasar
Gracian, some three hundred years ago, bequeathed his
Art of Worldly Wisdom to posterity."
From page 79:
Prices are determined by two factors: intrinsic value and
salesmanship. Few buyers know intrinsic values and,
therefore, they run with the crowd. The art of selling
is to make the crowd run your way.
Praise your goods, but do not overpraise them.
Whisper that they are fit only for connoisseurs, and
everyone will want to buy them. Also create the impression
that they are scarce, for no one desires what is readily
obtainable.
In a nudist colony the strep-tease dancer would find
herself among the unemployed.
TI- The art of prudence: : or, a companion for a man of sense. Written
originally in Spanish by ... Balthazar Gracian; now made English ...

Savage.
