This review is from: The Best Liberal Quotes Ever (Paperback)

I have been searching for a compact book of quotes to use in opening and closing arguments in court - this book is perfect! It is not so long that hours are spent searching and not so short that only the most familiar quotes are included. Instead, it has many qulates which we may have heard at one time, but they are not so cliche'ridden that we know the end of every one. Instead, it reminds us of quotes which we would like to remember, and will either buy the book to keep, or spend time "borrowing" it from friends to copy the quotes we want.

The book is loaded with quotations appropriate to issues of justice, human rights, equity, honesty, fairness and a multitude of other positive liberal American virtues. It is good reading by itself but is also invaluable for anyone who does any issue writing in any field!

This book is a wonderful collection of quotations that showcase the good in soceity and human nature. While there are a few pages devoted to poking at the far right, most of the book is filled with positive, uplifting thoughts. If you're a liberal, you're sure to feel a sense of pride regarding your beliefs, if you're a Conservative, it will help you to understand the REAL meaning of what it is to be a Liberal. I absolutely loved it.

I agree with Jim Hightower's assessment on the book cover, "This is a bible of progressive wisdom." This is not just a reference book, but a celebration of the virtues of liberal thought. I sat down and read it cover to cover. It's a one-of-a-kind digest and resource for taking our country back!
