Quotations are the fundamental distillation of a writer’s life and thinking as recorded in words and phrases for posterity. Through them the reader is afforded the unique opportunity to share in the thoughts, the life and the experiences of the writer. In a special way, they offer the reader a window into the mind of the author and hopefully an inducement to read further and learn more about the author and the story he relates.

On a wider scale, they are, as William Feather wrote, “the wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages preserved into perpetuity“, and as such they are available for the enrichment and enhancement of humanity, regardless of age, sex, race, educational or economic status. They are indeed, as the Talmud states, “food for the famished”.

The collection of quotations presented in this blog, have been chosen by me because of their special impact upon me. They have been published so that you too, may experience the joy I have had over the years reading them and getting to know the authors.

I trust that you will come to know the feeling of deep satisfaction possible from reading them, searching out the author and meditating upon their meaning and their impact on your life.

FAMILY

Other things may changes us,
But we start and end with Family. …….Anthony Brandt

As the family goes, so goes the nation;
and so goes the whole world in which we live. ……Pope John Paul II

The happiest moments of my life have been the few which
I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. ……..Thomas Jefferson

Families are the compass that guide us.
They are the inspiration to reach great heights,
and our comfort when we occasionally falter. …….Brad Henry

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. …….John Bowring

I don't care how poor a man is;
if he has family, he's rich. ….Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford,

They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ……Bishop Desmond Tutu
