Often in our search for meaning and happiness in our lives we turn to the latest media-visible celebrity with the quickest fix to offer. This little book is a veritable compendium of well-chosen quotes from people,who in most cases,history has judged worthy of attention. The quality of the quotes chosen for inclusion is testament to the quality of the author/compiler. This little book is a real joy and treasure. The loving work and research that went into its creation is readily apparent. It's a book I will not be embarrassed to share with friends and/or strangers. The real marvel is that the truths collected here will never become outdated so long as human nature stays what it is, and has been. Highly recommended for anyone interested in contemplating the TRUE meaning of that much misunderstood word--HAPPINESS.
