| Publisher Description: Over many years, Margaret Dureke has made it her business to search out and present to her audience "lessons in life." Now she has gathered a fine harvest of her labor of love in an impressive volume, Words And Phrases Of Wisdom - For Spiritual And Emotional Upliftment. Literary tastes and popular expressions change from one generation to another, and the facility of communication has accelerated this process. Figures of the past emerge from the shadow of neglect and begin to be quoted; other fade from fashion, or their words lose their relevance to the times. Fads create catchy phrases, some of them lasting. And all the while there is an accretion of sayings which, one supposes, will provide a ballast for civilization for as long as people continue to communicate with each other. Words And Phrases Of Wisdom is an excursion into everyday living. No matter how tangled your life may seem, no matter how great a loss you experience, quotations in this book are selected to help you summon the courage to make a new start. This is a book about hope, about encouragement and inspiration, and about coping. It compliments the desire in each of us to fulfill our destiny and makes us all brothers and sisters. This book of quotations recognizes that we are living in a new age, personal choices, new attitudes toward sex and marriage, peace and war, new technology and confusion. A time that has brought many intangible changes in the world - ethnic pride, women's liberation, race relations, relationships, patriotism, new ways of looking at people around us and at ourselves. The quotations in Words And Phrases of Wisdom when engraved upon the reader's memory give them good thoughts and make them want to look for more. Writers, poets, and others who use words effectively strongly influence our use of language and choice of expression and Words And Phrases Of Wisdom is designed to do that. -- Ted Roberts -Associate Media Professor, School of Communications, Howard University |
