Over the last thirty years, I''ve done just that, and carefully arranged my quotation collection, into this book, Ageless Wisdom. This compilation of quotes is not meant to be the largest collection, but the wisest, which shares the greatest of thoughts; as George Eliot poetically wrote, "A book which hath been culled from the flowers of all books."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 quote collection, of nearly 600 pages, is arranged into six parts: THE EMOTIONAL EFFECTSTHE SPIRITUAL JOURNEYTHE SOCIAL LIFETHE INTELLECTUAL IDEASTHE ETHICAL CHOICETHE MATERIAL WORLDInside these six parts, are quotations broken down into 128 categories from over 1000 sources, which were written over a 3,500-year period.
