Hi, I was going through some quotes at brainy quote and I found some interesting quotes by the person named Nelson Boswell. I wanted to know about his life history but then there is no wiki page on his name. It would be nice if someone wrote a page about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arvindtheace (talk • contribs) 16:14, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- He was an author of self-help books in the 1970s or thereabout, with titles like Inner Peace, Inner Power and Successful Living Day by Day. The quotes seem a bit banal to me, but, well, whatever. Looie496 (talk) 18:31, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- You know, if the guy was that important and there's no current article on him, you can always request one at Request_article. ☆ JLDWtalk ☆ 22:18, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
