Wisdom words from the past

On plain pages stood out profound words of wisdom: “Show me your friends and I will show you who you are,” and “Birds of a feather flock together.” These words are certainly worth taking heed of, including by children, adults and especially politicians.

What about “Loose lips sink ships,” or “Think twice before you speak.” These are important to all, even business tycoons and government finance officials.

Then there is “A poor craftsman always blames his tools;” something for our leaders.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand” is a good one for the Judicial and Legal Service Commission.

So no wonder the book is a best seller.
