They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but I disagree. I LOVE my book cover for BETTER DEAD THAN POOR, created by Loren Purcell. It's a DA VINCI EYE FINALIST in the Eric Hoffer Book Awards for superior cover art!! www.hofferaward.com/da-Vinci-Eye...

“Wordiness is a sickness of American writing. Too many words dilute and blur ideas.” --Eric Hoffer (1902–1983) From “Letter to Mrs. Blumberg” (27 September 1977) #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #EricHoffer Eric Hoffer’s observation about wordiness cuts directly to a common problem in modern writing. When too many words crowd a sentence, the core idea becomes diluted and harder to see. Instead of strengthening communication, excess language often hides meaning behind layers of unnecessary explanation. Hoffer believed that good writing should sharpen ideas, not bury them, and that clarity depends on restraint as much as expression. The insight applies far beyond essays or books. In an age of constant communication, messages often grow longer while understanding grows thinner. Hoffer’s advice is a reminder that precision matters. Strong writing doesn’t come from piling up words but from choosing the right ones and letting them carry the weight of the thought. When language is disciplined, ideas become clearer, stronger, and far more memorable.

İslam, güç kullanmak yoluyla kendini benimsetmiştir; ama İslamı zor karşısında kabul edenlerin bu yeni dine olan bağlılıkları, harekete katılan ilk Araplarınkinden daha güçlü olmuştur.

Bir yönetim, ehliyetinin sınırlarını aştığı halde iktidarda kalabilmişse, o yerde ya eğitimli bir sınıf yoktur ya da iktidardakilerle söz erbabı arasında sıkı bir ittifak vardır.
