Dictums and epigrams are rich in philosophy。They are wise,meaningful,and interesting,making people bright and enlightening the human beings。The Russian writer Gorgy once said,“In the practice of using proverbs to think,I have learned a lot of things。”
“Words are the voice of the mind。”
Dictums and epigrams are sparkles of human intelligence and reappearance of the tracks of life。
Dictums and epigrams are expression of creators soul,and taste of all sorts of joys and sorrows in life。
Dictums and epigrams are short,refined and profound。Though not all of them are“what is said carries weight”,they are really“each word a gem”。
Life needs Dictums and epigrams just as travel needs companions,climbing needs crutches,and boating in riptide needs oars。
Young students living in the new age have new hope,longing and pursuit。There are challenges,chances,high mountains,oars and dangerous shoals in front of them。Our purpose of compiling this book is to provide teenagers a good teacher and helpful friend,a key to start the life,a crutch to climb and an oar to boat。
We have included in this book about 1,200 profoundproverbs from the works of famous thinkers,littérateur,scientists,artists and industrialists of China and foreign countries and now present it to young students。
The book is divided into 19 themes according to their meaning,and each theme has its sub-themes。There are 78 enumerations at all。The books has enclosed a name list of the relevant personages。From the point of practicality,the book is published in small format so that readers will carry it easily and read it at any moment。
