You don't have to be a genius to sound like one. Here's a collection of the most profound and provocative wit and wisdom in the English language in two lines or less. Edited by entrepreneur John M. Shanahan, who created the wildly successful Hooked on Phonics program, this wonderful book presents the best that has been thought and said on every imaginable topic. Classified by such themes as "Truth, Lies, and Deception," "Men, Women, and Relationships," and "Passions, Virtues, and Vices," these quotes contain timeless messages for all humankind. Oscar Wilde: "A man who marries his mistress leaves a vacancy in that position." Charles de Gaulle: "The cemetery is filled with indispensable men." Abraham Lincoln: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Sophocles: "Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it." Perfect for anyone who has ever been left speechless, this book will make you as glib as Oscar Wilde, as profound as Winston Churchill, and as wise as Aesop. Inspirational, entertaining, and thought-provoking, this is one collection that no library or bookshelf should be without. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

It is difficult to determine the most brilliant thoughts of all time, as the concept of "brilliance" is subjective and can vary greatly from person to person. Some people may consider a thought brilliant if it is original, innovative or revolutionary, while others may consider a thought brilliant if it is profound, inspiring or emotionally resonant.
There have been many brilliant thoughts throughout history, and it is not possible to list them all here. Some notable examples of brilliant thoughts might include:
"I think, therefore I am", a philosophical statement attributed to René Descartes which has become one of the most famous expressions of the concept of consciousness. “The only thing that is constant is change,” a quote attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus that has become a popular saying in modern times.
"All men are created equal," a phrase from the Declaration of Independence that has become a fundamental tenet of the United States and a central tenet of the civil rights movement. “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” a quote from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's inaugural address that has become one of the most famous statements in American political history.
“The unexamined life is not worth living,” a quote from the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates that has become a key tenet of philosophical inquiry. Again, these are just a few examples of brilliant thoughts, and there are many more that could be mentioned. Ultimately, what constitutes a brilliant thought is a matter of personal interpretation and can vary from person to person. ( )
