[Swedish] - 100 citat om visdom: Samling 100 Citat
Vi har valt ut 100 stora citat om visdom. Vi vet alla vad visdom är förmågan att tänka och agera med kunskap, erfarenhet, förståelse, sunt förnuft och insikt. Wisdom anses vara en av de fyra kardinaldygderna; och som en kraft, är det en anpassad eller placering under givna förutsättningar, skall genomföra åtgärden med den högsta graden av lämplighet. Detta innebär innehav av kunskap eller hitta den för att passa särskild omständighet. Det handlar om en förståelse för människor, föremål, händelser, situationer och viljan och förmågan att perception, bedömning och åtgärd som ska tillämpas i enlighet med förståelsen av vad som är det bästa tillvägagångssättet. Det krävs ofta kontrollen över sina känslomässiga reaktioner (de 'passioner'), så att den universella principen om anledning friheter dominerar för att bestämma sitt handlande. Kort sagt, är visdom en tendens till sanning i kombination med optimal bedömning av vilka åtgärder bör vidtas för att hitta. Dessa övningar kommer att hjälpa dig att tänka, agera, att meditera för att uppnå ett slags visdom. En stor citat är mycket lik en tänka stort och ett litet dikt. Det kan vara en stor väv av idéer, tankar, reflektioner, känslor kapsla i några få ord. Läsaren av en stor citat tvingas att tänka på vad han just hört. Han borde tänka på dessa ord och vad de betyder. En utmärkt citat kräver läsaren att pausa att överväga den sanna innebörden och poesi några ord. En bra idé nått en nivå av universalitet. Citat drabbats hårt i kärnan i att vara människa. Rätt citat kan hjälpa oss att se det osynliga innebörden av saker eller ämnen. Utbudet av författarna till dessa 100 citat om visdom är mycket stort: från Mark Twain till Winston Churchill, Leonardo da Vinci till Albert Einstein, Sun Tzu, Mahatma Gandhi, Dalai Lama till Henry Ford. Dra nytta av den kunskap och intelligens av alla dessa sätt!

[Italian] - 100 citazioni di saggezza: Le 100 citazioni di...
Abbiamo selezionato per voi 100 grandi citazioni sulla saggezza. Tutti noi sappiamo cos'è la saggezza: la capacità di pensare e agire usando la conoscenza, l'esperienza, la comprensione, il buon senso e l'intuizione. La saggezza è stata considerata una delle quattro virtù cardinali; e come virtù, è un'abitudine o una disposizione a compiere l'azione con il più alto grado di adeguatezza in ogni circostanza. Ciò implica il possesso della conoscenza o la ricerca della stessa per applicarla alla circostanza data. Ciò implica la comprensione delle persone, degli oggetti, degli eventi, delle situazioni e della volontà, nonché la capacità di applicare la percezione, il giudizio e l'azione in linea con la comprensione di quello che è il corso d'azione ottimale. Spesso richiede il controllo delle proprie reazioni emotive (le 'passioni') in modo che il principio universale della ragione prevalga per determinare la propria azione. In breve, la saggezza è una disposizione a trovare la verità accoppiata con un giudizio ottimale su quali azioni devono essere intraprese. Queste citazioni vi aiuteranno a pensare, ad agire, a meditare per raggiungere una sorta di saggezza. Una grande citazione è molto simile a un grande pensiero e a una piccola poesia. Può racchiudere in poche parole una grande rete di idee, pensieri, riflessioni, emozioni. Il lettore di una grande citazione è costretto a pensare a ciò che ha appena ascoltato. Deve pensare a quelle parole e al loro significato. Una citazione eccellente richiede al lettore di fermarsi a contemplare il vero significato e la poesia di poche parole. Un grande pensiero raggiunge un livello di universalità. Le citazioni colpiscono duramente l'essenza dell'essere umano. La citazione giusta può aiutarci a vedere alcuni significati invisibili di cose o soggetti. La gamma degli autori di queste 100 citazioni sulla saggezza è molto ampia: da Mark Twain a Winston Churchill, da Leonardo da Vinci ad Albert Einstein, Sun Tzu, Mahatma Gandhi, dal Dalai Lama a Henry Ford. Approfittate della conoscenza e dell'intelligenza di tutti questi saggi!

[Dutch; Flemish] - 100 citaten over wijsheid: Collectie 100 Citaten van
We hebben voor u 100 grote citaten over wijsheid geselecteerd. We weten allemaal wat wijsheid is: het vermogen om te denken en te handelen met behulp van kennis, ervaring, begrip, gezond verstand en inzicht. Wijsheid wordt beschouwd als een van de vier kardinale deugden; en als een deugd is het een gewoonte of een aanleg om de handeling met de hoogste mate van adequaatheid uit te voeren onder een bepaalde omstandigheid. Dit impliceert het bezit van kennis of het zoeken naar kennis om deze toe te passen op de gegeven omstandigheid. Dit impliceert een begrip van mensen, voorwerpen, gebeurtenissen, situaties en de bereidheid en het vermogen om perceptie, oordeel en actie toe te passen in overeenstemming met het begrip van wat de optimale handelswijze is. Het vereist vaak controle over iemands emotionele reacties (de 'passies') zodat het universele principe van de rede overheerst om iemands actie te bepalen. Kortom, wijsheid is een aanleg om de waarheid te vinden, gekoppeld aan een optimaal oordeel over welke acties ondernomen moeten worden. Deze citaten zullen je helpen om te denken, te handelen, te mediteren om een soort van wijsheid te bereiken. Een groots citaat lijkt erg op een groots denken en een klein gedicht. Het kan een groot web van ideeën, gedachten, reflecties, emoties in een paar woorden inkapselen. De lezer van een groot citaat wordt gedwongen na te denken over wat hij zojuist gehoord heeft. Hij moet nadenken over die woorden en wat ze betekenen. Een uitstekend citaat vereist dat de lezer pauzeert om na te denken over de werkelijke betekenis en de poëzie van een paar woorden. Een grote gedachte bereikt een niveau van universaliteit. Citaten slaan hard toe in de essentie van het mens-zijn. Het juiste citaat kan ons helpen om enkele onzichtbare betekenissen van dingen of onderwerpen te zien. Het scala aan auteurs van die 100 citaten over wijsheid is zeer breed: van Mark Twain tot Winston Churchill, van Leonardo da Vinci tot Albert Einstein, Sun Tzu, Mahatma Gandhi, van Dalai Lama tot Henry Ford. Profiteer van de kennis en de intelligentie van al die wijzen!

The British Short Story - Volume 1 - Aphra Behn to Mary Shelley
These British Isles, moored across from mainland Europe, are more often seen as a world unto themselves. Restless and creative, they often warred amongst themselves until they began a global push to forge a World Empire of territory, of trade and of language.Here our ambitions are only of the literary kind. These shores have mustered many masters of literature. So this anthology's boundaries includes only those authors who were born in the British Isles - which as a geographical definition is the UK mainland and the island of Ireland - and wrote in a familiar form of English.Whilst Daniel Defoe is the normal starting point we begin a little earlier with Aphra Behn, an equally colourful character as well as an astonishing playwright and poet. And this is how we begin to differentiate our offering; both in scope, in breadth and in depth. These islands have raised and nurtured female authors of the highest order and rank and more often than not they have been sidelined or ignored in favour of that other gender which usually gets the plaudits and the royalties.Way back when it was almost immoral that a woman should write. A few pages of verse might be tolerated but anything else brought ridicule and shame. That seems unfathomable now but centuries ago women really were chattel, with marriage being, as the Victorian author Charlotte Smith boldly stated 'legal prostitution'. Some of course did find a way through - Jane Austen, the Brontes and Virginia Woolf but for many others only by changing their names to that of men was it possible to get their book to publication and into a readers hands. Here we include George Eliot and other examples.We add further depth with many stories by authors who were famed and fawned over in their day. Some wrote only a hidden gem or two before succumbing to poverty and death. There was no second career as a game show guest, reality TV contestant or youtuber. They remain almost forgotten outposts of talent who never prospered despite devoted hours of pen and brain.Keeping to a chronological order helps us to highlight how authors through the ages played around with characters and narrative to achieve distinctive results across many scenarios, many styles and many genres. The short story became a sort of literary laboratory, an early disruptor, of how to present and how to appeal to a growing audience as a reflection of social and societal changes. Was this bound to happen or did a growing population that could read begin to influence rather than just accept?Moving through the centuries we gather a groundswell of authors as we hit the Victorian Age - an age of physical mass communication albeit only on an actual printed page. An audience was offered a multitude of forms: novels (both whole and in serialised form) essays, short stories, poems all in weekly, monthly and quarterly form. Many of these periodicals were founded or edited by literary behemoths from Dickens and Thackeray through to Jerome K Jerome and, even some female editors including Ethel Colburn Mayne, Alice Meynell and Ella D'Arcy.Now authors began to offer a wider, more diverse choice from social activism and justice - and injustice to cutting stories of manners and principles. From many forms of comedy to mental meltdowns, from science fiction to unrequited heartache. If you can imagine it an author probably wrote it. At the end of the 19th Century bestseller lists and then prizes, such as the Nobel and Pulitzer, helped focus an audience's attention to a books literary merit and sales worth. Previously coffeehouses, Imperial trade, unscrupulous overseas printers ignoring copyright restrictions, publishers with their book lists as an appendix and the gossip and interchange of polite society had been the main avenues to secure sales and profits.

Literature for the ears, the heart, the very soul. As the world changed and reshaped itself our species continued to generate words, phrases and stories in testament of the human condition. This collection has a broad sweep and an inclusive nature and whilst you will find gems by D H Lawrence, G K Chesterton, Anthony Trollope, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker and many, many others you'll also find oddballs such as Lewis Carroll and W S Gilbert. Take time to discover the black humour of Violet Hunt, the short story craft of Edith Nesbit and Amy Levy, and ask why you haven't read enough of Ella D'Arcy, Mary Butts and Dorothy Edwards.
