Book Description
Jesus says profoundly, "The words that I speak, they are Spirit and they are life." Words live and have incredible power, so watch what words you speak. "Colours fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure." Edwards Thorndike. The power found in words cannot be understated. They can be explosive dynamite destroying or they can be cautious uplifting words. "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Mother Teresa. What lasting impressions are you making with the words you are speaking? The spoken word has life or death in it. Words can motivate you to do more or do the exact opposite. They can equally build you up or pull you down. Throughout history, all successful people have been known to tap into the world of wise words. They have continually stayed motivated and challenged by insightful words from others and this book has the compilation of wise, life transforming quotes to help you as a teen chart your successful path in life. As you read through this book, you will experience renewed energy, you will feel an explosive excitement, and your passion to do more will mystify you. That is exactly the effect inspirational words. This collection of quotes has been carefully sourced for teens worldwide. Every teen, especially those who desire to be successful must have a copy. "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." BenjaminFranklin. "Teens are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves." Virginia Satir.

Book Description
Booker Prize Winner A pub gathering of elderly married couples devolves into booze-inflected reminiscing—and complaining—in this “sharp and funny” English comedy about marriage, aging, and friendship (The Washington Post). Age has done everything except mellow the characters in Kingsley Amis’s The Old Devils, which turns its humane and ironic gaze on a group of Welsh married couples who have been spending their golden years—when “all of a sudden the evening starts starting after breakfast”—nattering, complaining, reminiscing, and, above all, drinking. This more or less orderly social world is thrown off-kilter, however, when two old friends unexpectedly return from England: Alun Weaver, now a celebrated man of Welsh letters, and his entrancing wife, Rhiannon. Long-dormant rivalries and romances are rudely awakened, as life at the Bible and Crown, the local pub, is changed irrevocably. Considered by Martin Amis to be Kingsley Amis’s greatest achievement—a book that “stands comparison with any English novel of the [twentieth] century”—The Old Devils confronts the attrition of ageing with rare candor, sympathy, and moral intelligence.
