Very Well Done

The prior reviewer quiet asylum dan is very confused. The "clarified adaptations" in the book are used when long passages of foreign language material are presented. They are a clarified adaptation of a particualr Engligh translation, and not of the actual material itself. EVERYTHING IS STILL A DIRECT ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE MATERIAL. The author just took standard commonly used translations, and made minor revisions (mainly throgh using synonyms for uncommon English words used by the original translators) to them to make them more readable. This is a perfectly acceptable practice. Perhpas the word "revision" is a better way to describe the process, rather than "clarfied adaptation."

A Wonderful Collection!!!

To quote Leonardo da Vinci, "Wisdom is the daughter of experience." In this book you will find the wisdom of many experienced people which suits the title "A Collection of Wisdom".

The book offers wisdom from people over generations of time. Have you ever read a quote and wondered about the person who said it? The one thing that makes this book different from other quote books is the research and the information about the authors of the quotes, and the time period that the quote was said. It is interesting reading the quotes written many hundreds of years ago and seeing their relevance in today's society.

It offers wisdom from a wide variety of individuals, to name only a few: Voltaire, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Andrew Carnegie, Helen Keller, Mary Kay Ash, Oprah Winfrey. Plus it offers quotes from athletes, sports coaches and many others.

There is a section on Proverbs of the world, a folktale section, and a religious section.

For those who love quotes, "A Collection of Wisdom" will be one that you will pick up and not want to put down until you are finished reading it! The book is filled with inspiring and motivating quotes. It is also a book that you can pick up and read when you have a quiet moment.

"A Collection of Wisdom" would be a great addition to anyone's library. Whether you are making a speech, writing a paper, trying to make a point, or just want to be inspired, the material in this book will assist you.

In our opinion, it truly is one of the best books of Wisdom on the market!
