Quote by Baltasar Gracian

Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.

Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.

Summary

This quote suggests that hope, being positive and optimistic, tends to remember the good things that happen in life, fostering a sense of expectation and anticipation for the future. On the other hand, gratitude, although important for fostering contentment and appreciation, often fails to remember the good, overshadowed by the constant desire for more. In other words, hope holds onto positivity, while gratitude struggles to recall past blessings, focusing instead on what is lacking.

The bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye

The bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. The bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. The bad economist sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups.http://www.jim.com/econ/chap01p1.html
