Book of Wise Sayings Selected Largely from Eastern Sources

William A. Clouston's Book of Wise Sayings Selected Largely from Eastern Sources is a timeless collection of proverbs, maxims, and philosophical insights drawn from the world's great wisdom traditions.

The aphorisms and sayings presented here span themes of morality, prudence, personal conduct, and the cultivation of virtue—offering guidance that remains remarkably relevant today.
