 Not what I expected, 2008-09-13
I was hoping for a better famous quotes kind of book. This book is loaded with quotes by people I never heard of. I make pretty good quotes sometimes, I could be in it. Well put together, just not what I had hoped for.

 Thought-Provoking Quotes for Every Occasion, 2007-11-05
This modest-sized book contains thousands of quotes. It is well indexed. The quotes vary from subjects as diverse as cats, religion, self-esteem, marriage, happiness, children, humor, the American Dream, finance, injustice, personal problems, politics, expert opinions, the natural world, and much more.
Three of my favorite quotes are: "Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors" (p. 166); "Freedom is the oxygen of the soul" (p. 189); and "No one ever paid the price of a book--only the price of printing it." (p. 138). The latter quote is a good one to apply to this book of quotes!

Short nuggets of wisdom with an occasional shot of humor, 2007-10-31
The best nuggets of wisdom are short and have an obvious point. Some add in the additional quality of being humorous and others historical relevance. All forms of such wisdom are regularly found in the "Quotable Quotes" feature of Reader's Digest. This book is a collection of those quotes organized according to topic. Some of the topics are:
*) If you can't make a mistake . . .
*) He who hesitates . . .
*) Be bold in what you stand for ...
*) Manners are the happy way . . .
*) The difference between a hero and a coward ...
And they are all leaders into significant messages. There are few books where random reading is always enjoyable, this is one of them.

I liked the quotes, but wished there were more. Someone out there, please put together a large book of quotes.

Great Quotes for History!!, 2007-03-08
This is a great book if you are writing history papers. The quotes are the best ever. Many of the quotes are thought provoking. I found this book and another book of quotes to be the best.
