In almost every book we read, we find those few passages of wisdom, which stand up, stand out, and demand to be noticed; “One simile, that solitary shines in the dry desert of a thousand lines” as Alexander Pope once put it. Those are the ones we write down because we keep coming back to them time and time again. Over the last thirty years, I’ve done just that, and carefully arranged my quotation collection, into this book, Ageless Wisdom.There’s just something mesmerizing about being able to pick up one book, and having the wisdom of many of the world’s greatest minds, at your immediate disposal. Ageless Wisdom is just that, a rich storehouse for those who love quotations. It contains a refreshing newness of quotes most have never been introduced to, not just another rearranging of old tired quotations. This 600 page collection is arranged into six parts: THE EMOTIONAL EFFECTS, THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, THE SOCIAL LIFE, THE INTELLECTUAL IDEAS, THE ETHICAL CHOICE, THE MATERIAL WORLD. Inside these six parts, are quotations broken down into 128 categories from over 1000 sources, which were written over a 3,500-year period. Below are just a few of the great authors quoted in this collection: Napoleon Bonaparte, Martin Luther, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Jane Austen, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., William Shakespeare, Plato, Charles Darwin, Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Jesus Christ, Confucius, Joseph Addison, Aesop, Marcus Aurelius, Francis Bacon, Henry Ward Beecher, Edmund Burke, Thomas Carlyle, G.K.
