Editorial Reviews

Review

His words are great music, phrases in the style of Beethoven, stirring rhythms like the march of Handel choruses. I cannot touch these sayings of his, scattered as they are through the pages of books at thirty years' distance, without receiving a thrill through my body like an electric shock. And what shocks, what transports must have been produced when in burning words they issued from the lips of a hero. --Romain Rolland, famed 19th-century author

This is a wonderful little volume. Since I purchased it a year ago I take it with me everywhere, it can easily fit into a purse. This fantastic man had such wonderful insights on life and how to live it. Is is without question my favorite book on how to live your life thus far. My second favorite is "Discover the Power Within You" by Eric Butterworth. Essentially the same message. You WILL NOT be dissapointed in this purchase. Cut through the noise, and be who you have always meant to be.
