      The Treasury of Vital Wisdom - Paul Collins

      The_Treasury_of_Vital_Wisdom_(Ebook)Aspose0019800Aspose0000.0000

      To Jackson Bond,

      The far-reaching effects of your kindness, resilience, talent, and humility inspired the creation of this book when I was thirteen, and is a continuing example of how one can inspire another to seek out the good in both the world and themselves, even without ever having met the author. My decision to start an extremely careful, meticulous, and profound collection of quotes was, by extension, influenced by your personality. This book proves that you bring out the best in other people, as it will continually affect others in a positive way.

      Now it is my turn to see if I can indirectly inspire you.
