This review is from: World Treasury of Folk Wisdom (Paperback)

This book is a collection of wonderful sayings from around the world. It contains over a hundred topics related to the human condition. Topics in the book cover the gamut from "Adversity" to "Vanity and Arrogance," from "Caution and Care" to "Impossibility." It is an incredible book in that it speaks to the universality of the human experience.
