Erotic Wit
Sex has been the driving force behind much of the art and culture of the civilized world and down the centuries it has inspired great works of literature, magnificent paintings, and sculpture, and continues to do so today. "How many popular songs, films and glossy magazines do not rely at least in part on sex to boost their sales?" Sexual desire has inspired men to do great things but it has equally brought about the downfall of many; it can bring out the best in us--or the worst; it can be both beautiful and ugly, serious and funny--a veritable paradox! In this unique collection of quotations, the author has focused on the more humorous examples that have attracted his attention and consequently the reader will find a host of witty one-liners, interspersed with quotes of a more philosophical nature on this perennially fascinating subject.

Confucius for Today
It is better to light the candle than to curse the darkness.He who asks a question may be a fool for five minutes; he who asks no questions stays a fool for ever. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.With suchwisdom and truthas to be eternally relevant, Chinese proverbs have found their ways through the centuries and intomanycultures. Coming face to face with the monumental wisdom of the legendary Master Kungbetter known by his Latinized name of Confuciusand others is a revealing and humbling experience. The Master's influence is to be found in the greater part of all proverbs that emanate from China. Confucius encouraged in his followers a careful study of the outside world, and a process of deep thought through which to consider and judge their observations. As Confucius said, "As one lamp serves to dispel a thousand years of darkness, so one flash of wisdom destroys ten thousand years of ignorance.""
Do Unto Others ... Then Run
Proverbs have long been humanity's sound bites. Snippets of sagacity, proverbs presumably sum up the best thinking on a subject in a terse, inspiring way.Okay, so not always.

Historians repeat each other. -Philip GuedallaDo Unto Others is sure to appeal to everyone who enjoys wordplay, puns, twisted meanings, and quick comebacks.
