An excellent treasury of quotes!,
By
This review is from: The Book of Positive Quotations (Paperback)
This book is an excellent collection of positive quotes. Particularly useful is that the book is divided into Parts (Peace of Mind, Living One Day At A Time, Preparing For Success, Knowing What To Do, Overcoming Negatives And Uncertainties, Making Dreams Come True), and then sub-parts within those parts (such as acceptance, happiness, prayer, self-confidence, the past, the present, this moment, hope, role models, change, decisions, realistic expectations, fear, worry, risks, courage, success, commitment, just do the footwork then let it go, perseverance, failures and mistakes, the advantages of adversity, reacting to events, etc.). Within every Part are anywhere from five to seventeen sub-parts, and within every sub-part are anywhere from several to numerous quotes. These divisions are very useful when looking for quotes that pertain to a particular topic. The quotes come from a wide diversity of people and time periods, making this a rich source from which to find and choose quotes that fit an individual's present circumstances and can provide encouragement and motivation in those circumstances. With 704 pages of actual quotes, it provides a wealth of quotes to peruse. What I appreciate about this book is that it's not comprised of simply "cheery platitudes," but instead contains many thought-provoking and motivating quotes. This is the best quote book I've come across yet.

Great Quotes!,

This review is from: The Book of Positive Quotations (Paperback)
I have been looking for a book of good quotations for the inside of greeting cards for a while. My first try was The Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Card: Prose-sentiments-poems-expressions followed by The Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Word: Quotes - Titles - Poetry - Tips - Words. Neither of the previous two books was quite scholarly enough for me. This one is. It not only includes over 10,000 entries, but those entries are from historical people who have shaped our world rather than from the author or a current celebrity. Naturally, many of the quotes are much longer than would fit in a greeting card, but most seem to be a short paragraph or less. I am truly thrilled with this book of Positive Quotations!
