Horse Sense. Street Smarts. - Hardcover

Don W. Hodges, a prominent Dallas businessman, has been a collector for more than 40 years. But his collection is not headed to a museum, because Hodges collected wit, wisdom, and plain old horse sense in the form of quotations... from the famous to ordinary folks. This amazing collection of quotations is sometimes practical, sometimes humorous, sometimes profound, and frequently down-right funny. Each a gem in its own right. To share these jewels, Hodges wrote Horse Sense. Street Smarts. Subtitled a common-sense collection of quotes about business and life, this new book distills the thoughts of hundreds of bright, articulate, thoughtful writers and speakers into unique perspectives on business, faith, humor, perseverance, and success, and other aspects of daily life. A great book for college students and busy businessmen who need something wise to say, at any occasion. One remarkable aspect of this outstanding collection is the diversity of voices, differences of opinion, and depth of understanding these brief quotations express. From Muhammad Ali to Mohandas Gandhi, from John Kenneth Galbraith to Jerry Garcia, Hodges' collection is geographically, culturally, and economically diverse. In times of political, economic, and religious divisions, he ably demonstrates that we all share a common destiny and we all make contributions to our shared understanding.
