Snappy Sayings Inhaltsangabe

The book is the culmination of several years of extensive compiling and research into the wisdom of over 350 of some of history's most insightful people.

Wheler’s detailed work includes 22 simultaneously illuminating and entertaining chapters.

Each chapter fuses humor, wit, wisdom, history and criticism into its book of interwoven quotations. Controversial topics have not been avoided, as Wheler addresses religion, politics and society all through the informative lens of some of history's greatest minds.

“SNAPPY SAYINGS: wit & wisdom from the world's greatest minds” strives to examine a vast variety of topics through its quotes, and does so in a way that few books of its kind have ever achieved.

Chapter topics in the book range from Money, Work, Education and The Professions to Sports, The Arts, Politicians and Democracy.

Human beings are examined in keen detail with chapters covering Sex, Love, Marriage, Women, Man, Religion and Human Nature, to name a few. Each chapter seamlessly dives into numerous sub-topics, covering such a wide variety of content as acting, entrepreneurship, medicine, alimony, golf and boxing.

Additionally, the book contains an extensive section of biographies with brief, but highly informative, background information on some of the great minds behind this fantastic collection of insightful quotes.

Notable thought-provoking and potentially controversial quotes from the book include the following:

You can't say civilization don't advance...in every war they kill you in a new way.

• Will Rogers - The first clergyman was the first rascal who met the first fool.

• Voltaire - Politicians are interested in people.

Not that this is always a virtue.

Fleas are interested in dog.

-P.J. O' Rourke

Jay Walker, the founder of Priceline.com and Walker Digital, who describes the collection as “a book to be tasted or sipped, much like one might pour oneself a small after-dinner drink from a bar stocked with hundreds of exotic liqueurs.”
