A brilliant
and inspiring selection of
quotations presented in a way
that will benefit any reader |
|
Close to 700 inspiring
quotations are presented here, under three
broad headings:
- Inspiration and Motivation
- God and Spirituality
- Love and Relationships
Within these three groupings the quotes flow through various related themes. Happiness, attitude, dreams, determination, courage, leadership, vision, peace, friendship, forgiveness, and compassion are just a few of these themes.
These quotations have
been carefully selected and compiled by
Eskandar from the thousands that he has
gathered over the years. The resulting "bunch
of other people's flowers" represents
a distillation of the collective wisdom
of humankind. The first edition of Flowers
from the Tree of Wisdom was
published in 2003 and the second edition
in 2005. In this third expanded edition,
the number of quotes has been more than
doubled.
While many collections
of inspiring quotations have been published,
this one stands out, both for the high quality
of its contents and for its tasteful presentation.
This special book carries an energy of its
own, and that is what makes it so precious.
It makes a wonderful gift - and a lasting
one, as the messages it contains can be referred
to again and again throughout a lifetime.
"(Flowers
from the Tree of Wisdom) is stylishly
and attractively designed, from cover to
pagination. The author's industry and care
in culling these landmarks largely from
the wisdom of our forebears, have resulted
in a stimulating collection of thoughts
and ideas which resonate in the mind at
many levels. A good browse and a pleasure
to have on the bookshelves."
- Sir W. K. CBE - Judge (retired) NZ
"This collection
of flowers from the tree of wisdom is no
doubt the best of them all in my opinion"
- R. B. (Professor of Studies in Religion,
University of Queensland)
"This is a very
personal collection gathered with insight
and sensitivity. I recommend it."
- M. S-F. (Professor of History)
"This book will
certainly achieve its aim of bringing 'inspirational
energy' to those who read it."
- Dr. C. M (University of New England)
Born in Italy, Eskandar
de Vos traveled extensively during his youth,
as his father was a United Nations consultant.
He now lives in Brisbane, Australia.
Eskandar has a strong
commitment to personal development and growth.
This, combined with a great concern for
the welfare of his fellow human beings,
has led him to the study of psychology and
the practice of counseling.
His passion for collecting
inspiring quotations began more than ten
years ago, when he first discovered the
joy of reading personal development books.
He believes in the power of such quotes
to inspire, motivate, and heal - and, indeed,
to transform our lives. With this in mind,
he has put together this collection of his
favourites, in order to share them with
others.
