2500 YEARS OF WISDOM: Sayings of the Great Masters
by D.W. Brown

The wisdom of the
greatest minds on earth.
All in one place.

This book of carefully selected and arranged quotations, each elevating and expanding upon the last, represents the greatest philosophical thoughts mankind has produced in its attempt to come to a deeper understanding of the human condition. Combining classic expressions from giants, such as Plato and Confucius, with aphorisms of accepted masters, such as Montaigne and Goethe, this book also blends the genius of lesser-known lights, such as Baltazar Gracien and Simone Weil. The result is a magnificent and harmonious symphony of humanity’s deepest convictions, crossing the boundaries of culture and time.

“If someone wants their dream to come true, they must wake up.”
—Anonymous

“That is the principal thing: not to remain with the dream, with the intention, with the being in the mood, but always forcibly to convert it into all things.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke

“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
—Joseph Campbell

. Publication date: January 2013
