description: 
  This collection of aphorisms is an aid to crystallising your own thoughts, with sections on truth, love, ambition, religion, aging, cruelty, friendship and all the other vital issues that we confront in life. Aphorisms can be a more enjoyable stimulus for thought than longer philosophical works because of their variety, because of their compactness, because they invite different interpretations, and because they provide such clear targets. The Pocket Philosopher is aimed at anyone who wants to understand their life.
