Product Description
The Treasury of Spiritual Wisdom is a wonderful collection of over 10,000 powerful quotations, compiled from a wide and eclectic range of sources. From Emily Dickinson to Oscar Levant, from Confucius to Andrew Carnegie, from Jesus to Pablo Casals, the quotations are drawn from philosophers, spiritual teachers, artists, composers, scientists, and many, many others, from ancient times to the present, representing a vast panoply of cultures and traditions. Organized into over 140 headings such as Love, Power, Self-Esteem, Habits, Grace, Abundance, and Death, the Treasury provides a lively and valuable resource for speakers searching for the seeds of a speech, teachers seeking inspiration, or for the reader who just needs a few words of wisdom or comfort. What makes this book so remarkable is the consistent clarity, power and insight of the selections, and the wide-ranging, non-sectarian quality of the quotations chosen.

I first read an excerpt from this book when Googling for quotes. This book, by far, had the largest variety of inspirational subjects from a very wide range of persons. I knew I would be happy from what I had read on the web. Having received and begun using the book, I'm ecstatic!

Possibly a Good Start

Unfortunately I found quotes repeated in this book, some of the quotes seemed forced into a category, and many individuals e.g. Peace Pilgrim, were given preferential treatment due to the author's bias. Given the amount of quote resources available on the internet I am not that enthused about the purchase of this book, but I will maintain an average rating because the book did open the door for me to do additional research and find many authors I had not known before.

I sincerely appreciate this authors effort to compile such an extensive collection of quotes. Personally, I did not find that it fulfilled the implication of the title. Sometimes quantity of words does not mean quality of information. Maybe others will find more in this book than I did.

I've had my copy for years now and every time I come across it and start flipping through the pages I become immersed for hours. This inspiring book has thousands of thought provoking, spiritual quotations collected from all through the ages and from all over the world. I usually let friends borrow my books or I sell or give them away. I rarely keep many. But this one is never far away from me and is never going anywhere! Very much worth your money, you won't regret it. I'm certain you'll cherish yours as much as I do mine.

This book has been extremely helpful to me in my search for the profound sprititual quotes. The list goes on from Socrates to Papa Ramdas. From Christian to Sufi to Hindu to Buddhist - no one is left out. From the ancient to the modern thinker, guru, guide and teacher. Some of the quotes come from people I've never heard of. Who are these people?? The quotes are listed in categories such as Cause/Effect, Mind, Meditation, Love, etc.
