This book doesn't cost very much, but it doesn't provide a lot either. With only about 400 quotes in very large type, this feels like a supermarket checkout filler item. The reason I give this one 3 stars is due to the fact that most of the quotes are pretty good. So, it's the best of the 'Great Quote Series' but that's not saying much. Save your money and invest in the Random House Websters Quotationary instead.

This is just a list of good quotes. The author should have offered a little background behind each quote, such as when, where, circumstances, speaking to whom, after effect. The book is so small I lost it, but I am not too upset.

This ws a very good book that I find is very informative. I have used it often when writing papers, but not only that I enjoyed reading the numerous qoutes from it too.

While this book is small, it has fantastic quotes written by inspiring people. It's very quick to reference and has a short bio of each contributor. Instead of offering a ton of mediocure quotes to fit every plausible situation, it offers only the most poignant. Sometimes less is more...

My Great Daughter bought me the Gold Edge hardcopy of this Book in 1994. It was one of the greatest Christmas presents I have ever received. We can learn alot from these great leaders. Peggy has compiled a Great diversity in Great Leaders. A mentor for everyone.

This is an "impulse buy" type of book, or a gift for a niece or nephew you do not know too well. The 400 quotes were OK, as others have noted. Too bad Anderson included Douglas MacArthur, but good for her for including Mother Teresa, who gave me a favorite: "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world."

The quotes were not dated, however, so you have no idea when in their lives these people gave them.

Disappointing. I'm sorry that I did not pay better attention to some other reviewers before I wasted my money on this tiny volume. Limited and superficial coverage.

This is a total waste, overpriced booklet (not a regular book-size) containing old beaten-up quotations from a select group of leaders. I want my money back on this item. The price of this item should not be more than $1.99.

I bought this book for a friend who is a lover of quotes, as well as someone who is driven and trying to find their path in life. It was well received. The book even has short bios of each leader. This was a great buy!

I loved this little quote book. I really enjoy quote books that are sorted by Author (which is how I like searching for quotes), and this book made it very easy to navigate to the author you wanted to hear from. There are so many great leaders from history, I just with the book included more quotes. That being said, all of the quotes in here are great, and you will enjoy the book.

Enjoy!
