With over four thousand succinct, concise bursts of truth--categorized by topic from absolutes, adversity, anticipation, and authority to walking, weather, why, and wisdom--each aphorism provides a truth that is brief and to the point, never allowing belief or desire to change the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExplore within these simple marriages of thought and language a provocative, sometimes profound, and always incomplete reflection of truth--for fiction surrounds truth, whereas aphorisms capture its essence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy writings come from a place\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEnriched by heart and mind, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhere one stares into empty space\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor hours at a time, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePursuing the sublime.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Patrick Redheffer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1532001444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532001444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.17d","brand":"Donald Patrick Redheffer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067173794047,"sku":"9781532001444","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70a4d638-9dbf-4569-9ea9-9ac943262abc.jpg?v=1685411638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aphorisms-donald-patrick-redheffer-9781532001444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
