From the Back Cover
Here is a compendium of human wisdom culled from the world’s celebrated—and anonymous - minds, from Confucius and Shakespeare to Maya Angelou and Woody Allen.
The quotations are grouped in categories that reflect the range of human existence, hopes, and achievement:

“Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.”
—James Thurber
Love and Friendship
“The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.”
—Blaise Pascal
Success and Ways to Achieve It
“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”—Sir Winston Churchill
The Life of the Mind
“Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.”
—Jorge Luis Borges
Politics and Politicians, Government and Statesmen
“Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes.”
—Benjamin Franklin
Proverbial Wisdom
“Joy shared is twice the joy. Sorrow shared is half the sorrow.”
—Swedish proverb
