Jewish Wisdom [antikvár]

PREFACEKing Solomon wrote that his Book of Proverbs (in the Hebrew Bible), which has been studied for many centuries by scores of millions of people, in many hundreds of translations from the original Hebrew, was intended for "learning wisdom and discipline," and for "acquiring success, righteousness, justice, and equity," and also for "endowing the simple with shrewdness, the young with knowledge and foresight."Assembled in this book are more than one thousand proverbs, wise sayings, and memorable quotations, from the past and from our own time, all meant to advance wisdom and understanding, These entries may instruct, inspire, guide, and even lead the reader to the good life; at the very least, they will open up a whole newdimension of self-exploration.
