{"product_id":"2940014609463","title":"Keepsakes: 365 Original Proverbs from Dad to Daughter","description":"One day I woke up and realized that my daughter would soon be leaving home—and that I still had so much I needed to say. So I started writing down the lessons that I wanted her to remember. That collection eventually grew to 365 original proverbs divided into eight categories: Character, Values, Love \u0026amp; Marriage, Sound Thinking, Practical Tips, Success, and The God Factor. The book begins with a heartfelt note from Dad to Daughter, and each chapter features a brief but deeply personal introduction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow that my own daughter is all grown up with a child of her own, this seemed like a good time to invite others to share whatever wisdom is contained in this collection. Though written for a young lady, few of the proverbs are actually gender-specific, and the timeless principles they embody point the way to a life well-lived, whether you belong to the greatest generation or the latest generation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are a few favorites:\u003cbr\u003e-- Pride quite naturally leads to prejudice, for those who think too much of themselves cannot resist thinking too little of others.\u003cbr\u003e-- Habits that you control are virtues. Habits that control you are vices.\u003cbr\u003e--In reality, cleanliness is nowhere near to godliness. Nevertheless, it's still well ahead of filth.\u003cbr\u003e-- Style can be expensive. Good taste is free.\u003cbr\u003e-- Be a contributor or be somewhere else.\u003cbr\u003e-- Fun is morally ambidextrous.\u003cbr\u003e-- Marriage is forever, so when choosing a partner exercise at least as much caution as you would use if you had to pick a permanent hairstyle.\u003cbr\u003e-- If you ignore injustice you become a moral accessory to its consequences.\u003cbr\u003e-- Think critically but speak kindly.\u003cbr\u003e-- The faith that is not hastily placed is not easily shaken.\u003cbr\u003e-- Beware of logical lies.\u003cbr\u003e-- Don't spend a lot of time to save a little bit of money.\u003cbr\u003e-- When applying for a job—the younger you are, the more important it is to dress conservatively.\u003cbr\u003e-- Don't mix apologies with excuses.\u003cbr\u003e-- Shoulder the criticism; share the compliments.\u003cbr\u003e-- When you greet an older man, shake his hand firmly. He'll be favorably impressed.\u003cbr\u003e-- When your plans have failed talk to an optimist. When you feel that your plans are foolproof talk to a pessimist.\u003cbr\u003e-- The worst thing you can say when you're angry is that which you're most likely to speak.\u003cbr\u003e-- It's more important to prioritize than to organize. Doing your work efficiently does not mean that you are doing important work.\u003cbr\u003e-- There is no safe passage to the extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e-- Fear is the fence around the world you live in.\u003cbr\u003e-- Prayer is designed to be a first step in every activity of life, not a last resort.\u003cbr\u003e-- Bad things do not come into our lives simply so that God can take them away, but so that he can show us that he matters more than anything else.","brand":"Scott Garber Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083834507504,"sku":"2940014609463","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014609463_p0.jpg?v=1763612116","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014609463","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
