This review is from: The Wise and Witty Quote Book: More than 2000 Quotes to Enlighten, Encourage, and Enjoy (Hardcover)

This book is a real deal for the money because it's three of the authors quote books all compiled into one - "Up Words for Down Days," "The Change Your Life Quote Book," and "The Lift Your Spirits Quote Book". They are inspiring and funny and categorized by stress, success, failure, love, etc.. And these aren't miscellaneous boring stupid quotes these are brilliant quotes by an incredible range of mostly famous people including Frank Lloyd Wright, Kahil Gibran, Helen Keller, Norman Vincent Peale, Douglas MacArthur, Oprah Winfrey, Bette Davis, George Burns, Pearl Buck, Dale Carnegie, Albert Schweitzer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bette Midler, Joan Baez, Anne Frank, Margaret Mead, Oral Roberts, Pablo Picasso - the list is phenomenal and seemingly eternal. And by the way, this isn't one of those mostly paper quote books with one quote per page, it's well laid out with an average of 6 quotes per page, 441 pages. Perfect gift for the person who has everything (and I bought one for myself too!)

Book is well broken down so you can focus on a specific topic and inspire you in a particular area to make you smile. Many very funny quotes will catch you off guard in the middle of great authors thought-provoking quotes. Good to share with a friend.
