As long as humankind has recorded the written word; the warrior has been admired as the embodiment of some of the best aspects of human beings. They have demanded and demonstrated the great qualities and possibilities of moral human action such as courage; loyalty; determination and intelligence. Writers of all kinds and natures have recorded the deeds of these great warriors as models of manly behavior and chivalrous ideals. The great names of history are the names of fighters and warriors. These great warriors lived on the knife edge between life and death; and their pending mortality acted to reveal eternal truths about human life through both their motives and acts. Thus the warrior perspective is universally unique and therefore still applicable today in our more complex modern world. Warrior Wisdom includes a huge collection of unforgettable quotes; sayings and writings from warriors and warrior leaders; both past and present; and from around the world. This exhaustive book reveals the essentialities of the Fighter’s life; speaking with great heart; eloquence; wisdom and an earned authenticity on subjects still crucial to you today: leadership; loyalty; honor; courage; tactics; strategy and much more. Read what warriors – Western and Eastern; obscure and famous; admirable and despicable – have said about themselves and others. Be inspired by the words of such important figures from Alexander the Great to General George Patton. Benefit from the pithy strategic wisdoms of Xenophon; Miyamoto Musahi; Sun Tzu and Napoleon Bonaparte. Enjoy the wit of Winston Churchill; and the philosophical and spiritual musings of Marcus Aurelius and King David. Warrior Wisdom offers a unique opportunity to thoroughly explore what it really means to be a warrior...in the worlds of yesterday and today.

This book is just like talking to herBy Pati SpielmannI met Magda in middle school and her husband performed brain surgery on my dad in the 80s; they are incredible loving people full of wisdom. This book is just like talking to her! Not only do you experience the history of her story; it is brimming with life lessons for any age. Parents you must buy this and keep it on your shelf; it helps your kids to understand the Holocaust and they will learn so many inspiring lessons from Magda. She's a physically and mentally strong lady who demonstrates the value of family bonds; physical fitness; being a good scholar; and caring for others with all your heart no matter what.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic story of remembrance and hope; wrapped in a shell of exuberant; passionate writingBy CustomerSurvivalThis is not just another Holocaust book. Magda's story is a slap in the face to the "historians" and racists who deny that the Holocaust ever took place. But this book is so much more than a historical document; it is the story about one woman's courageous life; and a life that has been lived to the full.I had the pleasure of hearing Magda share her story at our Messianic Congregation. Magda is willing to share her story with both Christians and Messianic Jews because she loves God and loves people. She is a bundle of energy; and if you ever get the chance to see her in person; I would highly recommend that you do so.The book seems to fly by as we see the life of Magda transition from a happy; athletic child to a left-for-dead survivor; to her development into vibrant adulthood. The part where she is re-united with her mother is priceless; Magda's mother saved a change of clothes and some chocolates in case her daughter would ever return; and Baruch HaShem she did. Magda is also a poet; and she has many poems mixed in; one that stuck me in particular was one she recited when she thought she would die near the camps. The poem is a chilling reminder of the powerful emotions one would feel at that time when normal words cannot adequately explain our emotions.What I really loved about her work; oral and written; is that she has a wonderful balance of remembrance and hope. She does not forget or ignore the past; but neither does she let it impede her. We remember the horror; but we also get to hear about how after the war she went to medical college; found the love of her life (recently celebrating 60 years of marriage); and became a poet and an inspirational speaker.This book is important for both Jews and Christians to read. Both will walk away blessed. But also to those who feel that there is no hope in the world; this is a great example to demonstrate the opposite. Don't miss an opportunity to see what one woman did who was described as "saved by God." It will warm your heart.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
