Famous Quotations : Illustrated for Children

A quotation that endures for centuries reflects the deep thoughts of the author. In this hectic modern-day world, the spoken word too often leaves a fleeting impression. The quotations set forth in this book exemplify the true quality of a well-written phrase that links the past with the present. In my judical career, I was deeply concerned with the lack of historical perception that exists in our populace. Our citizens tend to feel that "their world" is contemporaneous -- that is, it only exists within their own time frame. These quotations show that profound thinking will continue from generation to generation. Parents who read to their children have a way of holding their attention in a precious bond. My intention with this book is to select & portray these quotations so that the young mind will appreciate their value. John Marlo has been a police officer, an attorney, has served almost three decades as a superior court judge in the State of California &--foremost--is the father of five children & grandfather of eight. This book is dedicated to the youth of our country ...to expose them to the values inherent in & inspired by these everlasting quotations.Marlo, John A. is the author of 'Famous Quotations : Illustrated for Children', published 1999 under ISBN 9780970263704 and ISBN 0970263708.
