I have always loved looking to the wisdom of others when I am struggling through a problem or a crisis of faith of any sort. Quotes have always been an interest of mine, as I think it's fascinating that certain words, said in certain ways, can somehow stand the test of time and be linked to one person's mind. They are short and succinct pockets of advice and wisdom, and yet they transcend time and cultures to communicate knowledge to us. My father suggested that I give this book a try, knowing my penchant for quotes, epigrams, sayings, and adages. He was right. I loved it, and I particularly liked that many of these epigrams were not ones I had come across before. The author does a great job of creating an admirable collection that I will certainly return to time and time again. We always have troubles, but the advice of others sometimes seems so much more relevant and powerful. This isn't something you read cover-to-cover; just pick it up and flip to a page; you're sure to find something that does you more good than you'd expect.
