PACKED with memorable musings, this collection offers thought-provoking comments and advice to suit every occasion and moments in life.
It's a handy little reference book which users will enjoy dipping into to find either opposite quotes or just for the sheer pleasure of reminding themselves of how the human mind can sometimes come up with the most amazing gem of a thought and saying.
The quotes cover all aspects of life – from the solemn and philosophical to the humorous and sardonic. These are organised into five sections: Life's a Journey, The Beauty of Life, All You Need is Love, Success and Failure, and The Lighter Side of Life.
Some of the great quotes in this collection come from surprising sources such as what Kurt Cobain, Wayne Gretzky or Marilyn Monroe had to say compared with wise old heads such as Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and Charles Schultz.
Among some of them are B.B. King's "The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you"; Ralph Waldo Emerson's "It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them"; and William Penn's "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst".
Then, there is Lao-tzu's "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished"; Audrey Hepburn's "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other"; and Katherine Graham's "A mistake is simply another way of doing things".
These quotes are presented in different fonts to differentiate them for easier reading and each segment comes in a different colour.
This is a great book as a gift to share the wisdom with those who appreciate such gems.
