OVER 600 PHILOSOPHICAL ONE-LINERS, APHORISMS, MAXIMS | The contemporary version of MAXIMS by Duke de La Rochefoucauld, Maxims for Revolutionists by George Bernard Shaw and other such texts with modern concepts and language relevant to the 21st Century while maintaining timeless insights and suggestions. A book fit for any reader; from the geniuses to the masters, the creators, the professionals, the teachers, the workers, the plebs and even the knuckle-dragging pithecanthropoid droolers and mouth breathers. This book was written over a year or two and compiled patiently and scrupulously as new knowledge and perspectives were uncovered throughout a young man's spiritual and philosophical journey in the quest for insights and answers to life's deeper questions. Just as the great teachers of the past preferred to use proverbs and metaphor as a catalyst to evoke deeper thought and realisation, this book seeks to do the same. Such methods seem to encourage the reader to connect the dots for themselves and come to their own conclusions rather than being led to water like a donkey. If any ideas or concepts put forward in this book should offend you in any way... good! You should remember that offence is always taken, and never given. The reader is encouraged to be skeptical about the contents of this book and to challenge the positions held there in. Enjoy my ramblings.

The first English-language collection of a contemporary Russian master of the short story, recenly profiled in The New Yorker Maxim Osipov, who lives and practices medicine in a town ninety miles outside Moscow, is one of Russia’s best contemporary writers. In the tradition of Anton Chekhov and William Carlos Williams, he draws on his experiences in medicine to write stories of great subtlety and striking insight. Osipov’s fiction presents a nuanced, collage-like portrait of life in provincial Russia—its tragedies, frustrations, and moments of humble beauty and inspiration. The twelve stories in this volume depict doctors, actors, screenwriters, teachers, entrepreneurs, local political bosses, and common criminals whose paths intersect in unpredictable yet entirely natural ways: in sickrooms, classrooms, administrative offices and on trains and in planes. Their encounters lead to disasters, major and minor epiphanies, and—on occasion—the promise of redemption.

1 There is nothing worth thinking but it has been thought before; we must only try to think it again. 2 How can a man come to know himself? Never by thinking, but by doing. Try to do your duty, and you will know at once what you are worth. 3 But what is your duty? The claims of the day. 4 The world of reason is to be regarded as a great and immortal being, who ceaselessly works out what is necessary, and so makes himself lord also over what is accidental. 5 The longer I live, the more it grieves me to see man, who occupies his supreme place for the very purpose of imposing his will upon nature, and freeing himself and his from an outrageous necessity,--to see him taken up with some false notion, and doing just the opposite of what he wants to do; and then, because the whole bent of his mind is spoilt, bungling miserably over everything. 6 Be genuine and strenuous; earn for yourself, and look for, grace from those in high places; from the powerful, favour; from the active and the good, advancement; from the many, affection; from the individual, love. 7 Tell me with whom you associate, and I will tell you who you are. If I know what your business is, I know what can be made of you. 8 Every man must think after his own fashion; for on his own path he finds a truth, or a kind of truth, which helps him through life. But he must not give himself the rein; he must control himself; mere naked instinct does not become him. 9 Unqualified activity, of whatever kind, leads at last to bankruptcy. 10 In the works of mankind, as in those of nature, it is really the motive which is chiefly worth attention. 11 Men get out of countenance with themselves and others because they treat the means as the end, and so, from sheer doing, do nothing, or, perhaps, just what they would have avoided. 12 Our plans and designs should be so perfect in truth and beauty, that in touching them the world could only mar. We should thus have the advantage of setting right what is wrong, and restoring what is destroyed. 13 It is a very hard and troublesome thing to dispose of whole, half-, and quarter-mistakes; to sift them and assign the portion of truth to its proper place. 14 It is not always needful for truth to take a definite shape; it is enough if it hovers about us like a spirit and produces harmony; if it is wafted through the air like the sound of a bell, grave and kindly. 15 General ideas and great conceit are always in a fair way to bring about terrible misfortune. 16 You cannot play the flute by blowing alone: you must use your fingers. 17 In Botany there is a species of plants called Incompletæ; and just in the same way it can be said that there are men who are incomplete and imperfect. They are those whose desires and struggles are out of proportion to their actions and achievements. 18 The most insignificant man can be complete if he works within the limits of his capacities, innate or acquired; but even fine talents can be obscured, neutralised, and destroyed by lack of this indispensable requirement of symmetry. This is a mischief which will often occur in modern times; for who will be able to come up to the claims of an age so full and intense as this, and one too that moves so rapidly? 19 It is only men of practical ability, knowing their powers and using them with moderation and prudence, who will be successful in worldly affairs.

An extensive collection of aphorisms of fundamental American moral rules and principles on a variety of subjects. Over the course of centuries, humanity has set down an accumulation of acute and succinct wisdom. It has the potential to be valuable and reliable, if they should be consistent in putting into practice the precepts which the best minds of the species have bequeathed them. Homo sapiens are fast learners and equally speedy forgetters. Therefore, from time to time, they should be reminded of this beneficial wisdom. In Dictionary of American Maxims, author David Kin collects a wide array of bon mots (and some wisecracks) attributed to American minds ranging from President George Washington to newspaper gossip columnist Walter Winchell. Kin has organized a vast array of wise sayings alphabetically by subject from “Ability” to “Zoroaster.” This is rich fare, certain to inspire, educate, and entertain.

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was fordrama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. Nearly all his writings address prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy which makes their stark themes more palatable. Shaw examined education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege.-wikipedia

Using contemporary illustrations, Legal Maxims in Islamic Criminal Law delves into the theoretical and practical studies of al-Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah in Islamic legal theory. It elucidates the importance of this concept in the application of Islamic law and demonstrates how the concept relates to the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah), generally. Included in this examination are the following maxims: al-Umūr bi-Maqāṣidihā ("Matters shall be Judged by their Objectives"); al-Yaqīn lā Yazūl bi-sh-Shakk ("Certainty Cannot be Overruled by Doubt"); al-Mashaqqa Tajlib at-Taysīr ("Hardship begets Facility"); Lā Ḍarar wa-lā Ḍirār ("No Injury or Harm shall be Inflicted or Reciprocated"); and al-ʿĀda Muḥakkama ("Custom is Authoritative").
