This is the best book on spiritual and inspirational quotations which includes multiple faiths. There's the massive Catholic Quotations, Burton Stephenson's Bible Quotations, Mead's Bible Quotations, Quotation books from the Bahai, Hindu and Buddhist faiths, but this one does the best job of blending together spiritual sources and literary sources on spiritual topics from the broadest range.

Not only that, it covers a wide range of topics that not all might call spiritual, and I think this is good. Like the Buddhist saying goes, after enlightenment you still chop wood and carry water.

This is a subject categorized book, which makes it fun to read and easier to use for source material for lecture or writing projects. Or, just put it in your bathroom and get inspired a few column inches at a time.

It's a big book, with 10,000+ quotes, so there is a lot of great material, much of it unique.

I've always felt that one of the best things about quotation books are the authors and books they introduce you to, so you can pursue them in greater depth. If you like to read spiritual material, this book is a like a chocolate sampler loaded with tasty goodies which will help you learn what new flavors to further pursue.

I have had this book out of the library for almost six months now....yea, yea, I should buy it already and I know that one day I will. It's probably the best book I've ever laid my eyes on. I definitely recommend this book to EVERYONE. One doesn't need a whole novel or self-help text to influence their lives. A couple lines will do. Take a look at some of the most influencing words of all time and your heart will show you where to go for knowledge, spirituality, and strength.

I've had my copy for years now and every time I come across it and start flipping through the pages I become immersed for hours. This inspiring book has thousands of thought provoking, spiritual quotations collected from all through the ages and from all over the world. I usually let friends borrow my books or I sell or give them away. I rarely keep many. But this one is never far away from me and is never going anywhere! Very much worth your money, you won't regret it. I'm certain you'll cherish yours as much as I do mine.

This book has been extremely helpful to me in my search for the profound sprititual quotes. The list goes on from Socrates to Papa Ramdas. From Christian to Sufi to Hindu to Buddhist - no one is left out. From the ancient to the modern thinker, guru, guide and teacher. Some of the quotes come from people I've never heard of. Who are these people?? The quotes are listed in categories such as Cause/Effect, Mind, Meditation, Love, etc.

Unfortunately I found quotes repeated in this book, some of the quotes seemed forced into a category, and many individuals e.g. Peace Pilgrim, were given preferential treatment due to the author's bias. Given the amount of quote resources available on the internet I am not that enthused about the purchase of this book, but I will maintain an average rating because the book did open the door for me to do additional research and find many authors I had not known before.

The most cherished book among the 1500 in my library

a must have for any thinking person...zubko has done a marvelous job

I first read an excerpt from this book when Googling for quotes. This book, by far, had the largest variety of inspirational subjects from a very wide range of persons. I knew I would be happy from what I had read on the web. Having received and begun using the book, I'm ecstatic!

I sincerely appreciate this authors effort to compile such an extensive collection of quotes. Personally, I did not find that it fulfilled the implication of the title. Sometimes quantity of words does not mean quality of information. Maybe others will find more in this book than I did.
