When I began to create my quotes and sayings, I chose to use the word "ascolta" as my tag line ... "ascolta" is Italian for "listen, pay attention, be attentive." My term "Whispered Wisdom" comes from this connection. This book is a collection of these quotes and sayings, created with the hope they will inspire, encourage and provoke those who read them to choose to live beyond themselves ... fully committed to making a difference. As you read, this remains my simple desire. Terry Hoggard
