This is my fifth book of quotations: hence, Year Five. The quotations in this book, as were in the first four books, contain quotations drawn from many sources. Although this is the fifth book of quotations from me, this is not a series of books in the true since; each book stands on its own. Again; as in the previous books, most of them are from me. Over the years, my wife and I counseled numerous individuals while in the military. Many of the quotations that we coined were authored and used to aid in the task of guiding our clientele to make the correct decisions. The eclectic method of counseling we used worked very well when used in conjunction with some of the catchy wording and phraseology contained in many of the quotations in this book. There are also other quotations from various sources such as show business personalities, to adventurers, to national and world leaders, to just plain old folks; and even the Holy Bible. I hope that you enjoy reading them and that they bring you some support and comfort as you navigate through life.
