Readers will find themselves reaching for this resource as an entertaining look at the astute and poignant sayings from people throughout the ages. Bob has systematically hunted through over 30,000 quotes to bring the reader the best three hundred from sources over 55 years of age. Wrinkled Wisdom is the perfect gift for grandparents, grandchildren, speakers, authors, or anyone with a mind that is curious about the deep wisdom found with age.

Download or read book The Harvard Book written by William Bentinck-Smith and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Harvard can be said to have a literature all its own, then few universities can equal it in scope. Here lies the reason for this anthology--a collection of what Harvard men (teachers, students, graduates) have written about Harvard in the more than three centuries of its history. The emphasis is upon entertainment, upon readability; and the selections have been arranged to show something of the many variations of Harvard life. For all Harvard men--and that part of the general public which is interested in American college life--here is a rich treasury. In such a Harvard collection one may expect to find the giants of Harvard's last 75 years, Eliot, Lowell, and Conant, attempting a definition of what Harvard means. But there are many other familiar names - Henry Dunster, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, Henry Adams, Charles M. Flandrau, William and Henry James, Owen Wister, Thomas Wolfe, John P. Marquaud. Here is Mistress Eaton's confession about the bad fish served to the wretched students of Harvard's early years; here too is President Holyoke's account of the burning of Harvard Hall; a student's description of his trip to Portsmouth with that aged and Johnsonian character, Tutor Henry Flynt; Cleveland Amory's retelling of the murder of Dr. George Parkman; Mayor Quiney's story of what happened in Cambridge when Andrew Jackson came to get an honorary degree; Alistair Cooke's commentary on the great Harvard-Yale cricket match of 1951. There are many sorts of Harvard men in this book--popular fellows like Hammersmith, snobs like Bertie and Billy, the sensitive and the lonely like Edwin Arlington Robinson and Thomas Wolfe, and independent thinkers like John Reed. Teachers and pupils, scholars and sports, heroes and rogues pass across the Harvard stage through the struggles and the tragedies to the moments of triumph like the Bicentennial or the visit of Winston Churchill. And speaking of visits, there are the visitors too--the first impressions of Harvard set down by an assortment of travelers as various as Dickens, Trollope, Rupert Brooke, Harriet Martineau, and Francisco de Miranda, the "precursor of Latin American independence." For the Harvard addict this volume is indispensable. For the general reader it is the sort of book that goes with a good living-room fire or the blissful moments of early to bed.

Book excerpt: Angus Hamilton was a British journalist who reported for a number of newspapers and journals between 1894 and 1912. Among the events he covered were the Boer War in South Africa, the Boxer uprising in China, and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. He spent several months in Korea as the Far East correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette and produced this book on the basis of his observations. Korea was at the time little known in the West, and Hamilton's book contained much information about the country's economy, international trade, and the activities of the major foreign powers then vying for economic and political influence in Korea. Among the information provided was, in Appendix I, the timetable for travel by rail from Port Arthur (present-day Dalian, China) to Moscow. The total travel time was given as 13 days, 2 hours, and 42 minutes. Other appendices dealt with Korea's shipping, exports and imports, coastal trade, customs revenues, and the export of gold. Hamilton was writing on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War, and he devoted his introductory chapter to the political crisis then unfolding between Russia and Japan, the question of whether it would lead to war, and what effect a possible war would have on Korea.
