I have used this book for the last 10 years when I need a little filler for a quarterly newsletter. I pull the book off of the shelf and open it up and always find a great quote. I have even gotten calls from clients who have commented "Great quote. Where did you find it?" There are quotes on so many different subjects. Here are just a few of the many subjects: Beginning-Beliefs, Cooperation, Education, Family, Happiness, Leadership, Planning-Please, Self, Trouble and many many more. Highly recommended. |

Love this book as an occassional reference tool. Useful resource for speeches and general business writing. Also good for the occassional bit of personal inspiration. Note that Forbes itself sells the book for much, much more. |
Jay Friedman (MSL quote), USA
<2007-05-21 00:00>
Look no further. Whether you're a writer or just would like to have a resource for business quotes, this is it.
When buying a quote book, the number one criteria I suggest you use is to select a book that is grouped by topic, not by he/she who said the quote. When I'm writing, I know I want a quote, for instance, on "opportunities." So I look it up that way. 99/100 times I'm not going to know a person who may have said something intelligent on opportunity and look it up that way.
I highly suggest you pick this up and read through it every so often. It will make you a more well-rounded person in the end. |
A. Everest (MSL quote), USA

This is one of my favorite books. It's packed with tons of great quotations by a diverse mix of people. I would highly reccommend it. |
