Very interesting and good soup for the soul!

I love quotations of wisdom and this book does an excellent job highlighting maxims of 18 of the world's most intelligent and influential "Sages." From Confucius to Buddha, to Aristotle to Elizabeth I, and Theodore Roosevelt to Winston Churchill, this book celebrates thought-provoking quotes through the ages.

Sage Advice does a great job categorizing quotes by approx. 70 topics, such as Acceptance, Courage, Happiness, Humor, Mistakes, Love, Perseverance, Truth, and Work-Life Balance. In addition to underscoring great quotations, Richard K. Borden (author) does a superb job providing biographical summaries of the 18 Sages. I initially purchased the book, but then discovered the audible version too -- The narrator has the perfect voice to give the book and quotations an edge of distinction and wisdom!
