5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully uplifting, November 9, 2001

By

This review is from: Lift-Your-Spirits Quote Book (Hardcover)

More than 650 uplifting quotations.

Mr. Klein's newest collection of quotations is my favorite so far. Divided into the eight broad categories of Applause (praise), Arts, Beauty, Creativity, Family, Friendship, Heart, and Lighten Up, these are short, inspirational quotations that really can lift your spirits. I love opening the book at random and dipping into a few quotes.

A few of my favorites are, "love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here" (Marianne Williamson); "The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands" (Robert Persig); and "Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light" (Helen Keller).

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Different Stuff in this One., May 27, 2001

This review is from: Lift-Your-Spirits Quote Book (Hardcover)

A quote book is a quote book is a quote book. And you can quote me on that! This handy little volume contains over 650 quotes that will inspire readers and probably provoke some thinking.

Most of the quotes are different from what we hear every day, citing a very wide range of Quoted Persons. Sources range from Goethe to Oprah Winfrey. Now that's a wide range! Familiar folks like Mark Twain ("Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been") and Martin Buxbaum ("A dog wags it's tail with it's heart") and interspersed with more modern figures like Barbara Bush ("Believe in something larger than yourself.")

A table of contents organizes the subject areas (sixteen major categories) and an index of authors enables the reader to find a favorite source quickly.

Looking for some different quotes? Some though-provoking words from Shakespeare, Alan Alda, Brooker T. Washington, and more? This book will be a good investment. Recommended for coffee tables and waiting rooms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Uplifting Gift Book, May 22, 2001

By 

Dave Cooperberg (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lift-Your-Spirits Quote Book (Hardcover)

A wonderful, beautifully presented quote book, filled with uplifting, witty, wise and useful quotes. Great as a gift for those who are down in spirit, those who seek to remain up in spirit, and those who are willing to be good to themselves. For example, "Cheerfulness is contagious, but don't wait to catch it from others, Be a carrier." or " Earth laughs in flowers." I have already given away ten of these!
