Wise quotations can be defined as a group of words from an original author showing experience, knowledge and good judgement. Included in this book are 60 different areas of life that affect us all and as Isaac Disraeli said, 'The Wisdom of the Wise, and the experience of the ages, may be preserved by Quotations'. A good book should inform, educate and entertain and the quotations are arranged in a manner to achieve this. Former actress Marlene Dietrich said, 'I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts that one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognised wiser than oneself'. Many of us may remember a phrase or a quotation from an older relative or mentor that we heard when we were younger that made much sense and helped us on our way. I hope you find additional ones in this book. Quotations can also help us overcome some challenges we meet on our journey and should you find some inspiring, you can make them into your own personal affirmations. Affirmations can enhance our thinking and enrich our lives. Researching and compiling this book has been a joy, as it has been a journey back through the ages and as Winston Churchill said, 'the further back you look, the further forward you can see'. Different quotations will resonate at different times of your life, therefore this is a book that can be dipped into now and also at different times in the future. Enjoy the book and I hope it will assist you on this magical experience called Life.
