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
