Presentation

Great knowledge is revealed through phrases collected from scholars, wise men and scientists. But nothing compares to popular wisdom, with life maxims extracted from experience acquired on a daily basis.

  The quality of the wise comes from words, which convince the cautious man. But what we hear from the people reveals the greatest amount of prudence, moderation, temperance and wisdom. The wisdom of life, sometimes countless times, is born from the suffering that has given people, throughout history, a great capacity for reflection.

  The fair knowledge of things, through the faculty of reason, is not as impregnated with wisdom as the experience of facts. The science, conceived by the ancients, resembled the popular wisdom of today, not only that inspired by Minerva, the Greek goddess of cunning, but also that practiced in a remarkably philosophical way by the Egyptians, Indians and Arabs.

  Knowledge, which generates Wisdom, can be inspired not only by divine things, but also by human banalities. If wisdom, in the divine formula, is the inspiration for spiritual and paradisiacal life with God, in popular wisdom they carry the qualities of cleverness, cunning and cunning in coexistence with men.

  In this book of phrases, organized by Carujo, we will find all of this: scientific, divine and popular wisdom. Many phrases are life formulas that we have heard since our grandparents and that have been passed down, from generation to generation, for thousands of years.

Warning

Be clear and sincere to overcome chance. Those who cannot live in a useful way cannot expect life to present them with happiness. If the plans are big, but the planner does not value the details of each stage of their implementation, hopes will crumble into thin air. The contingents of the past and future are latent in the present. Your best place and moment – here and now – cannot degenerate into negativity. Concentrating your mind on the beautiful, good and true can condense happiness for the rest of your days.

    Don't rush the way. Time is mathematical and each event is timed to the right period of life. Haste overruns destiny. When Time moves, signs appear to indicate the lights on the path. A word heard, a sentence read, a leaf that flies, a child's smile. The synchronic mind of the occasion will bring the situation to you and chance will be overcome. It is no coincidence that you are reading this.

    Be clear and sincere. The universe will conspire in your favor.
