Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

This book represents the result of years of industrious collecting. The quotations gathered here are international in scope and have a wide chronological range, from ancient to contemporary. The selection draws on a variety of sources and authors, from philosophers and poets to athletes, coaches, and executives. We have made every effort to trace the authorship of all quotations, although some of them remain anonymous.

The collection is arranged under thirty-one motivational and inspirational headings. Although few of the sayings we have included can be restricted to a single category, each in fact appears only once under the heading we considered the most useful or pertinent.

Our goal throughout has been simple: to inspire, motivate, and encourage readers. We hope this volume will not only serve speakers and leaders in sport, business, and indeed many other fields, as a useful source for all occasions, but also prove a welcome personal source for study and reflection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quotations, November 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Great Book of Inspiring Quotations : Motivational Sayings For All Occasions (Hardcover)

This book is terrific. I post a different quotation from it every day right beside the time clock where my employees will see it as they punch their time cards.

I have also used quotations in speeches that I have written for sales presentations.

Over a thousand ways to say the things you wanted to say but didn't know quite how to say them. I've always struggled with finding the right words for the right occasion. This book makes it easy. Guaranteed to make you think. A must for all quotation lovers.

A friend of mine had this book; and I thought my husband, a high school wrestling coach, would really like it. It ended up being one of his favorite gifts from me. He had it for several years when he loaned it to one of his wrestlers who was designing a team shirt. We never did get the book back, so ended up buying another copy. This year, my husband had a senior wrestler graduating whom he had gotten very close to. He decided that this book would be a wonderful graduation gift - which it proved to be. After purchasing 3 copies of this book, I anticipate having to buy more in the future, and each will be well worth the money. :)
