Hi Davkett,

No, no, Maxmouse,
That's no good at all. You are much, much closer with the first one. It's just that your original version reads as if it is the impact, not the wisdom in the book, that ennables you. You are not ennable by the impact. You are ennabled by the Analects of Confucius.
This is closer:
The Analects of Confucius makes a significant
