- "These 8000 clever and insightful sayings, organized by theme, will enrich the prose of writers, public speakers, and anyone seeking to lead or persuade. They also provide inspiration to guide us in our lives. Chinese proverbs, Roman maxims and the wisdom of writers from William Penn to Kahlil Gibran cover themes from humility and patience to courage, will and action. The topics are arranged in a sequence that begins with birth and progresses through the seasons of the "Ideal Life." In some sections, one quotation fluidly leads into the next, refining a concept or highlighting its various facets. In other sections, one quotation plays off another, creating a lively discussion among the authors. Volumes of touching, edifying, and inspiring sound-bites have been collected throughout history; why put together another one, now? This book cannot pretend to be an exhaustive compendium of the world's most original expressions; rather, the author has collected observations and maxims that seemed particularly striking, and presents them to the reader in a "poetic quotation" style that may provide pleasant company in reflective moments as well as serving as a resource to help find the right words for a special moment. "We are born into this life and our journey begins. Our sense of self grows, while we become aware of the world around us. As we progress along our path, our experiences help us to define our character. A destiny is woven into our being, and luck too comes into play as we move through our cycle of time. We express our love, which produces a happiness that motivates us to be good. As truth is revealed to us, it gradually builds into an inner wisdom, and our mind expands as we encounter the various ideas of philosophy. The power of words shows us the value of education, which is never ending. The need for prudence, gratitude, forgiveness and charity become clear as we see how these attributes help us to create a sense of peace. Faith in our dreams motivates our will to move forward and gives us the courage to turn our inner genius into action. As we work, we help to create opportunities that may bring success, wealth, power. We learn that with growth comes responsibility, and we gain a greater appreciation of how justice is to be applied in the development of civilization. More than a reference book, this is an invitation to walk together through all the stages of life, savoring the insights and adages that civilization has bestowed upon us for each challenge and each accomplishment." - R.A.K. Richard Alan Krieger is a writer, musician, composer and artist. From the monasteries of Nepal to the nightclubs of Los Angeles, he has sought out the wisdom and humor that keep humanity moving ahead. Gathered from a broad spectrum of human civilizations, the quotations in this book illustrate the universal values that inspire mankind."
