Adages and Aphorisms from Philosophilus Richard O. Calkins

Adages and Aphorisms from Philosophilus is a collection of humorous, curmudgeonly pronouncements about the nature of the human condition. It addresses issues of human relations, politics, commerce, education, creativity, medicine, science, religion, and the meaning of life. Philosophilus is a curmudgeonly Greek philosopher from ancient Athens reportedly being channeled by a man named Richard Calkins. During their discourses over the years, Philosophilus has learned much about modern times. Not surprisingly, he does not approve of them. But then, he doesn't approve of much of anything. This collection will make you laugh, make you think and make you grind your teeth. It's a great conversation starter on any coffee table.
