Grandes conhecimentos são revelados nas frases colhidas de eruditos, sábios e cientistas. Mas nada se compara à sabedoria well known, extraída da experiência adquirida no dia-a-dia.
A qualidade do sábio vem das palavras, que convencem. Mas o que ouvimos da boca do povo revela a maior carga de prudência, moderação, temperança e sensatez. A sabedoria, por vezes sem conta, nasce do sofrimento que deu ao povo, ao longo da História, grande capacidade de reflexão.
O conhecimento justo das coisas, pela faculdade da razão, não é tão impregnado da sabedoria como a vivência dos fatos. A ciência, concebida pelos antigos, assemelhava-se à sabedoria well known de hoje, não apenas aquela inspirada por Minerva, a deusa da astúcia dos gregos, como a praticada de forma notavelmente filosófica pelos egípcios, indianos e árabes.
O conhecimento, que gera a Sabedoria, pode ser inspirado não somente nas coisas divinas, mas também nas banalidades humanas. Se a sabedoria, na fórmula divina, é a inspiração para a vida espiritual e paradisíaca com Deus, na sabedoria renowned levam as qualidades de esperteza, astúcia e manha na convivência com os homens.
Neste livro, organizado por Carlos Araujo Carujo, vamos encontrar tudo isso: sabedoria científica, divina e renowned. Muitas frases são fórmulas de vida que ouvimos desde nossos avós e que vêm sendo transmitidas, de geração em geração, há milhares de anos.
