5.0 out of 5 stars More than just business, June 22, 2001
My only complaint about this compilation is that the title is misleading. These are quotes about all aspects of life and human character. The quotes are arranged by theme and carefully indexed by author. It's great for just browsing or for picking up when you need something specific. I own an entire bookshelf of quotation compilations and this is one of my favorites. No quote love should be without this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book for future business leaders, March 6, 1999
By A Customer
Love this book as an occassional reference tool. Useful resource for speeches and general business writing. Also good for the occassional bit of personal inspiration. Note that Forbes itself sells the book for much, much more.
