From the Inside Flap

This book represents the result of years of industrious collecting. The quotations gathered here are international in scope and have a wide chronological range, from ancient to contemporary. The selection draws on a variety of sources and authors, from philosophers and poets to athletes, coaches, and executives. We have made every effort to trace the authorship of all quotations, although some of them remain anonymous.

The collection is arranged under thirty-one motivational and inspirational headings. Although few of the sayings we have included can be restricted to a single category, each in fact appears only once under the heading we considered the most useful or pertinent.

Our goal throughout has been simple: to inspire, motivate, and encourage readers. We hope this volume will not only serve speakers and leaders in sport, business, and indeed many other fields, as a useful source for all occasions, but also prove a welcome personal source for study and reflection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quotations, November 3, 2002

By A Customer

This book is terrific. I post a different quotation from it every day right beside the time clock where my employees will see it as they punch their time cards.

I have also used quotations in speeches that I have written for sales presentations.

By A Customer

Over a thousand ways to say the things you wanted to say but didn't know quite how to say them. I've always struggled with finding the right words for the right occasion. This book makes it easy. Guaranteed to make you think. A must for all quotation lovers.
