Words was first published in 2016 and contained 686 quotations. This new edition contains 946 quotations including 260 that were previously selected but omitted from the first edition. The original manuscript title, “Words,” has been retained. Words presents wisdom written and collected across three millenniums. This complete hand-printed manuscript is more personal, authentic and appropriate than prior editions. It is my wish that these words bring comfort, hope and love to those in need.
Words is a collection of basic truths, universal law, inspiration, reason, thoughts, views, ideas, concepts, convictions, and facts in the format of concise quotations. These observations and realizations are from the minds, hearts and life experiences of very remarkable human beings that preceded us. I honor and thank all 461 authors. There are 946 quotations. Many contributors have only one entry, while others have a dozen or more. This assortment of easy reading covers the previous 3,000 years from Homer to the twentieth century. The final product was gleaned from over 10,000 such items recorded for posterity.
These quotations concern living a simple, honest, happy, fulfilling, and rewarding life on our lonely planet; it is just stated in different ways, at different times, down through the centuries.
This book is recommended for searching hearts and minds, particularly those suffering from PTSD.
