Vincencio Juan de Lastanosa
Vincencio Juan de Lastanosa (* 1607 , † 1681 ) was a Spanish scholar.
Lastanosa was an influential scholar of the Huesca religious college and a friend of Baltasar Gracián , the author of Oráculo manual y arte de prudencia ( Hand Oracle and the Art of Sophistication ), a much-cited collection of aphorisms. Lastanosa published the collection of aphorisms under the pseudonym Lorenco (instead of Baltasar) Gracián (see title page of the first publication from 1647 ).
Lastanosa's well-known aphorism reads: "The righteous have no laws and the wise have no advice" (from the preface to the reader of the Gracián edition of 1653).
