註釋

Wisdom, Apples, & Black Roses is a modern day, philosophical how-to guide for attaining wisdom. Through personal anecdotes, fables, and perceptive moral and ethical insights, Robert M. Thompson presents information that any reader-young or old-can apply to his or her own endeavors toward becoming a wise person.Thompson astutely notes that wisdom cannot be passed from one person to another. Rather, it is a purity that comes from a higher power, and to truly attain it a person must pursue, foster, and constantly hone it. A wise person will recognize the four main elements of wisdom, which are humility, courage, awareness, and contentment.A wise person knows that socially valued characteristics such as common sense, intelligence and knowledge-while extremely important virtues-are not the same as wisdom and should not be mistakenly revered as substitutes for true wisdom.Though provoking, relatable and timeless, Wisdom, Apples, & Black Roses speaks to the reader with care and regard for the improvement of moral character. It is sure to be a bookshelf friend for many years.
