Pocket Treasury Of Great Quotations Humor Paperback Book from Reader's Digest
Do you ever feel the need for a word of encouragement or advice when there is none available?
This has happened to most of us at one time or another.
Even if you enjoy the guidance of a judicious spouse, friend, or professional adviser, there are still many, many situations in which you simply have to rely on your own judgment, for better or worse.
Fortunately, in almost every conceivable case, you can count on a host of invisible helpers: proverbs, old saws, maxims, adages, axioms, aphorisms-quotations one and all.
For example, the anonymous ad- monition "A stitch in time saves nine" has eliminated much unnecessary work in the lives of those who have remembered it-in time.
Quotations have been collected as aids to achieving a successful, good, and long life since time im- memorial.
A quotation book dating from 25th-century B.C. Egypt tells us: "He whom God loves is a listener, but he whom God hates cannot hear."
This is as true today as it was 4,500 years ago-though it is impossible to verify the author's claim that by living in accordance with the precepts in his book he had reached the age of 110.
