[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

My mom bought me this book a long time ago. I was probably like 13. I enjoyed the book when I read it then and now that I reread it, I enjoyed it even more. I suppose it's because the quotes are more relevant to my life now.

This book consists of quotes and thoughts from all sorts people and like the book title says it's about wisdom. It's a good book to read because it inspires and also makes you think about life and how you should be living. And it does it all with just quotes and thoughts!

Can't really say much else about the book, except read it. Enjoy it. Take it in. Think about it. And enlighten yourself.
