The Essence of All Religions

Winston Churchill once remarked, “It is a good thing for an educated man to read books of quotations.” This is a result of the immense power that is concealed in the thoughts of great individuals. Quotations not only make us wiser, they help to swiftly connect us to the most sacred inner thoughts of an individual. Joseph Roux finely states “a fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool.”

In this handy book one has access to the teachings and beliefs of some of the worlds greatest prophets, teachers, sages and originators of religion. Ideal for both new and experienced followers of faith, this book has been compiled to highlight the similarities and harmony of the worlds great belief systems.
