Sinopse
Características

This book came out of my fondness for wise sayings and proverbs that express universal truths—it derived from me paying very close attention to the ways people explained themselves or expressed what they were thinking in order to drive the point home. A number of these maxims, adages, and sayings I started collecting many years ago. Some are not credited to any particular book or person because most are FOLK SAYINGS, perhaps quoted by millions and forgotten. Nevertheless, when possible, I cite the name of the poet, the scholars, and philosophers from whom I quoted.I've heard many quotes from friends, relatives, school teachers, pastors, the media and the all mighty newspaper. However, I never forget my granny, with her quick witty apples of gold sayings, making sure they were embedded and rooted in my memory bank to live by. Sometimes, I still hear her voice speaking to me, saying, “Child, believe me when I tell you, there are two kinds of people—the people who lift and the people who lean, choose one.” Thank you, Granny, I did!I am grateful to all the wise scholars and contributors from King Solomon to Shakespeare and Booker T. Washington, who voiced and wrote their quotations down with me in mind and hopefully with you, my dear readers, in mind also. These saying are just as true today as when they were coined.
