Description

Have you ever read or heard a wise saying and thought, "That's cool" and soon forgot it? Tested and tried by time and experience, priceless word gems were handed down the generations. This book explains their meaning and makes them usable in your daily life. Learn how to profit from proverbs, save with sayings, and qualify with quotes. Wise sayings are as important to the mind as mother's milk is to the growing child. As you think so you are. William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, knew their value. He said: "The Wisdom of Nations lies in their Proverbs... collect and learn them". Sir Winston Churchill, former British Prime Minister, war leader, writer, painter, historian and much more, urged people of limited education to get a good stock of proverbs. Great men (backed by great women) who guided their country's destiny knew the value of memorable quotes."Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." Calvin Coolidge. 30th President of the United States (1923-1929)
