Book Description
From the Back Cover
Here is a compendium of human wisdom culled from the world's celebrated-and anonymous - minds, from Confucius and Shakespeare to Maya Angelou and Woody Allen.
The quotations are grouped in categories that reflect the range of human existence, hopes, and achievement:

Life and Death (And Some of What Happens in Between)
"Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness."
-James Thurber

Love and Friendship
"The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing."
-Blaise Pascal

Success and Ways to Achieve It
"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."-Sir Winston Churchill

The Life of the Mind
"Don't talk unless you can improve the silence."
-Jorge Luis Borges

Politics and Politicians, Government and Statesmen
"Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes."
-Benjamin Franklin

Proverbial Wisdom
"Joy shared is twice the joy. Sorrow shared is half the sorrow."
-Swedish proverb

Product Description:
"The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill . . . The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest. It cannot be, while you still live. For to live is to function. That is all there is to living."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., on his 90th birthday (March 31, 1931) and after more than a half-century as Justice of the the Supreme Court

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it-and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again-and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore."
-Samuel L. Clemens ("Mark Twain"), American author

"It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations."
-Sir Winston Churchill, My Early Life, 1930

"We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers."
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., American civil rights leader
