The Book of New England Wisdom, Common Sense and Uncommon Ge

Great book. It is a small paper back and contains 163 pages divided into 15 chapters including "New England", "The People", "Character and Courage", "The Spirit" and 11 others. It is mostly short quotes from great and not so great New Englanders including Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Edmund S. Muske, John F. Kennedy, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Margaret Fuller, and others. Robert Frost wrote: 'Freedom lies in being bold'. Another good one is 'All experience is an arch, to build upon' by Henry Adams. The quotes are short and very poingnant and can be applied to humanity, not just New Englanders. I have one for my husband for Father's Day and will be getting one or two more to give for Christmas presents.
