I am completely in awe with this collection of his sayings. The book content is divided into six quote sections: Happiness, Friendship, Love, Responsibility, Fortitude, and What Is Essential. I will give you what I think is one best quote from each section.HappinessTrue freedom lies only in the creative process. The fisherman is free when he fishes according to his instinct. The sculptor is free when carving a face. P. 7FriendshipMan is a knot into which relationships are tied. P. 22LoveVery slowly do we plait the braid of friendships and affections. We learn slowly. P. 30ResponsibilityThere is no growth except in the fulfillment of obligations. P. 41FortitudeThe seed haunted by the sun never fails to find its way between the stones in the ground. P. 55What Is EssentialA past event is like a wandering stone fallen from heaven. One can neither move it nor penetrate it. P. 81It seems like he could and would make a great philosopher as well for he has perfect logic, highest wisdom, and profoundest insight which can be inferred from the quotes. He is a person that could very well write a religious classic. Somehow I wonder how he obtains the knowledge of "that kind of thing" i.e., he sums up the meaning of life and religiousness real well and true. His writing is also the very best but with the above mentioned qualities, the good writing fades into the background, "It doesn't matter what language he uses, if it's that deep."The section I think best is What Is Essential and the section I do not think is as good as other sections is Love. Anyway just like something of authenticity with excellent standard, it's the matter of individual taste which must be acquired as an individual acquired taste. I mean, what you see (read) is what you get. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Briefly Stated *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2022* I would ratherread whole books, no t brief words of wisdom.For those who like brevity, this might be just the little book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Precious little book *by D***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2022* I loved the very attractive cover and inside the insightful words from the poet were a joy to read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35975302-a-guide-for-grown-ups-essential-wisdom-from-the-collected](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35975302-a-guide-for-grown-ups-essential-wisdom-from-the-collected) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
