4.0 out of 5 stars A few choice words..., November 10, 2009

This review is from: Memorable Quotations: Famous Women of the Past (Kindle Edition)
As a writer and retired librarian I found Carol A. Dingle's Memorable Quotations: Famoush Women of the Past a very useful tool. Not only is it an easy read, it's full of ordinary comments by not so ordinary women of decades and centuries ago. A very feminine touch from the past from woman to woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quotation Book!, April 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Memorable Quotations: Famous Women of the Past (Kindle Edition)
I enjoyed this wonderful collection of quotations from some of the greatest women of all time; and a few of my favorite quotes include:

Louisa May Alcott: "Simple, sincere people seldom speak much of their piety. It shows itself in acts rather than in words, and has more influence than homilies or protestations."

Pearl Buck: "Ah well, perhaps one has to be very old before one learns how to be amused rather than shocked."

Amelia Earhart: "Adventure is worthwhile in itself."

Edith Hamilton: "The Greeks were the first intellectualists. In a world where the irrational had played the chief role, they came forward as the protagonists of the mind."

Helen Keller: "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."

Eleanor Roosevelt: "I think if the people of this country can be reached with the truth, their judgment will be in favor of the many, as against the privileged few."
