The Book of Hearts and Star Adages: an Anthology of Love and Wisdom Gerry Wallace

My enjoyment of collecting adages goes back to my late teens when my salesman father showed me his pocket notebook filled with quotations whilst he traveled, hither and yon. As a school teacher, I continued this linguistic love affair by writing a daily quote on the front board. Upon retirement, I started making illustrated anthologies into small books to give as gifts to friends. After a while, I began to focus on themes, such as, Shakespeare, the environment, world peace and other exciting stuff. The magical theme of this anthology is Love and Wisdom. Who of us doesn't seek a bit more insight into these all-important topics? As Rudyard Kipling said, "Take away Love and the earth becomes a tomb.", Thanks for check out my book. It is now available from Amazon.com or from your favorite bookseller. Gerry Wallace (gollygerry.yahoo.com)
