—James Thurber

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, January 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 1001 Smartest Things Ever Said (Paperback)
Since I've been in the health care business - sometimes the only way to relate to patients - are words of wisdom. If I could know all the sayings in this book by hart - it would excel almost any education that a person could get (to a point). It's made of fairly contemporary sayings that at least are "understandable". Meaning not like those old books of quotes from way back when - when they sounded like Shakespeare (if you know the books that I'm talking about). Also for when it comes to family and friends - its always there to give you some words of inspiration and encouragement (and tell me who can't use that).

5.0 out of 5 stars Everytime I read it I learn something new, September 25, 2009
I like this book because its quotes are from a wide range of sources, covering almost every culture, religion, nation, historical period etc. Each time I read it, I feel inspired and I also understand myself a little bit better.
