–ABOUT THE BOOK–
This beautiful compilation of quotes touches on all aspects of life. It is filled with tidbits of gold; each excerpt carefully chosen.
"The design of this work is to rouse to honorable effort those who are wasting their time and energies through indifference to life's prizes. In the furtherance of this aim the authors have endeavored to gather from all possible sources the thoughts of those wise and earnest men and women who have used their pens to delineate life and its possibilities, its joys and its sorrows.
Their hope is that they might be able to rouse in the minds of the careless a sense of the value of existence."
