Hold a Master-card of Wits with Ed's Pick, March 21, 2003
This review is from: 6200 Wisecracks, Witty Remarks & Epigrams for All Occasions (Hardcover)
Words from the wise says a lot and is right said when you go through Ed's marvelous book - a great choice to pick alongwith Oxford's Dictionary of Quotations & Oxford's companion to English Literature. Oxford books are a class apart but you can't resist a pick on this one from Ed Fuller because the selection of the wise cracks, witty remarks & epigrams is just fantastic and certainly, full of humor that brings smile on a face. It's like holding a `Master-card' of wits for quick and easy access to wisdom grounds. A wide range of subjects and cross-references, supercharge conversation, speeches, writings, any time-any place-anywhere! The epigram usage is marvelous and used to fit your purpose with an example of Robert Ingersoll who took the old saying `An honest man is the noblest work of god' and brought it forth as `An honest God is the noblest work of man'
The Index of Epigram subjects is wide to choose from and these are thoughtful and thought provoking. A good book to reflect ideas and must for every home, office, library.
