I have to say that I disagree with the majority of the previous reviewers, in that this book is really not that useful in my eyes. While it does have a few famous and inspirational quotes, it is definitley not worth paying $15 for. Like other readers have mentioned, the book is 50 pages long, with half of them being illustrations. The other 25 pages contain from 4-5 quotes each, for a total of maybe 100 quotes in the entire book. This is the type of book that you would expect to pay $3.95 for at a bookstore, and definitly not $14.95. My suggestion would be to stay away from this book. You are better off getting quotes off the Internet. Just my opinion...

Pick the book up and flip to any page whenever you are in need of an inspirational thought. Great to have in your own library; also makes an excellent gift for a book-lover.

I love this book. It may not have 2000 quotes in it, but I have to agree that these are some of mankind's greatest quotes. I received it as a gift and I find it easy to use and lovely to look at. It has over 100 of mankind's most profound insights in one place which makes them easy to refer to. The book was designed so that there are 7 or 8 quotes on a page with a beautiful color photograph next to each page of quotes that is appropriate to the theme of those quotes. The aesthetic affect is a reminder of the depth of life and livingness - something that often gets lost in our day to day lives. The wisdom relayed reminds me that we as mankind have very similar hopes and desires and dreams for ourselves and our family and friends. It is also very therapeutic to be reminded how GREAT each one of us really is. I recommend reading this little book and bringing some joy to your life. You deserve it.

Was the previous review even talking about this book? The book is a 50 pg small gift book full of many inspirational quotes. Quotes are by people such as Aristotle, Socrates, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Buddha... people whom just about everybody has heard of! The quotes are inspirational, and the illustrations are beautiful too. It could be a great gift for just about anyone.

Fantastic quotes from some of the most admired men and women in the world. This book has a good variety of authors for how short it is, and it definitely includes many of the best quotes from several of the most renowned people in the history of the world. Make sure to use the "search inside" function on Amazon so that you have a good idea of what you are getting. No complaints about this book except that I wish it was longer!

You will love this little book! Enjoy!

This book is beautiful. The quotes in it really are superb and the photos which accompany it are really nice. I am giving a copy to everyone I know. It is perfect for an association or corporation to give as a gift to their employees, as it not only rewards but inspires as well. We are giving a copy to everyone in our organization. Thank you for this wonderful treasure.

I loved this book for its honest simple inspiration. It was as if the love and care of the author came out through its pages. There are some familiar quotations but lots of new ones (to me at least). Its the kind of book that makes a lovely gift or something to return to again and again for some uplifting words of wisdom.

This book is small enough I can keep it in my purse and always have it handy. It is filled with many great words of wisdom!

Easy read that you can keep on the coffee table. Great way to clear your mind and refocus on what is important.
