This book contains Washington's Wit Modernly Writ, Solomon's New Leaf, and Thoughts from the Early Twenty-first Century. The first section presents paraphrases and summations of passages from the diaries, letters and speeches of George Washington from his teenage years to retirement. The second section paraphrases Ecclesiastes, a book from The Holy Bible. When Ecclesiastes is quoted sporadically, which has often been done in entertainment media, the resulting tone is usually one hinting of negativity. Rolland E. Stroup, Jr. has attempted to lighten it up. The third section provides observations, ideas and thoughts noted down by the author while living through the first few years of the Twenty-first Century.
I went to the library one day to find a book of Lincoln one-liners, such as: "You can fool all the people some of the time, and..." but I found no such book. I then reviewed the literature and found that Abraham Lincoln rarely stated one-liners. His stories were nearly almost always couched in an ample supply of background detail leading to savory climaxes. After this I thought to myself, "There ought to be a book equivalent to Lincoln one-liners." So I decided to write it myself. The first section of Distilled Lincoln Anecdotes presents basic meanings of individual humorous tales from the life of Abraham Lincoln. The second section contains amusing anecdotes, observations from life, some curiosities, and a few poetic lines by the author.
I have often wondered about knowing all the commandments of Jesus. Through the years I have tried to find them all in one reference point. Reading through the gospels I always found them interspersed with passages of other important information. Searching the Web I found limited numbers of them at a few different sites. I finally decided it might be worth gathering them all together in one place myself.
