The Little Oxford Gift Box of Proverbs and Quotations edited by Susan Ratcliffe and Elizabeth Knowles

The Little Oxford Gift Box of Proverbs and Quotations is a real jewel of tenderness. It is cute this tiny, elegant box set, and surely the best, wonderful gift for someone you love.
Elegant, sweet and dreaming cover illustrations, these two books, one about proverbs and another about quotations are friendly, inviting and discreet. You can keep them on your desk, they will be silent companion while you write, and while you search for an original proverb, for a quotation you think that should be added in your piece, in the book that you are currently writing, or in your journal. Or, wherever you want.
At the fourth Edition, and edited by Susan Ratcliffe and Elizabeth Knowles there are more than 4.000 quotations and 2.000 proverbs for every occasion, necessity, writing. Quotations are not just from the past, but also taken from the present, including celebrities of our time, close to Albert Einstein, Robert Browning, Jane Austen, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Proverbs are listed from the word Ability to Youth. Some words in between: Change, Discoveries, Equality, Fear, Prejudice and Tolerance, Solutions, Towns and Cities Words, Worry, Writing.
Every proverb has an explanation and its date of...birth in the english language while every quotation is followed by the full name of the man or woman said/wrote that, who he/she was and date of birth and death.

I thank Oxford University Press for the physical copy of this book.
