Values of the Wise
Profound & Witty Words of Wisdom from the Greatest Minds
By Jason Merchey 

Wisdom—to be able to capture and bottle this one world would make any man rich beyond his living years . . .

Throughout history, society has witnessed some of the greatest leaders that have ever set foot on earth. These great men and women have left behind a legacy of their existence through memorable, though provoking quotes that forever will be treasured. These memorable moments will be repeated and passed down and enjoyed from generation to generation.

Jason Merchey has taken it upon himself to create a book where you can easily find some of the most unforgettable words ever spoken. He has ingeniously categorized thousands of unforgettable quotes, and broken them down into fifteen different categories. Examples of his chapter categories include such titles as “Strength & courage,” “Knowledge,” “Wisdom” and “education.” With such simplistic titles, you can easily be assured of finding just the right words needed to begin a speech, write a term paper, or just find meaning to life--whatever plagues your conscious. It all can be found in this wonderfully well-developed book.

While I was reading Values of the Wise, I found myself wishing that I had discovered it while I was still in college. It would have saved me countless hours in the library in search of the “one” quote needed to set my term papers apart from the rest of my classmates. Even now, I find it is an invaluable reference tool that I plan to keep close at hand. I am certain it will provide me endless years of knowledge and wisdom.
