14000 Quips and Quotes: For Speakers, Writers, Editors, Preachers, and Teachers

I have used quotes in both my books and programs for over 10years and in my teaching career for over 15 years. This is the best resource by far. There are quotes for every possible occassion, ones that inspire, make you think or smile and laugh. I have recommended this book to military families as a way of communicating and connecting with their families every day! Thanks for putting all of these together and making it so much easier for the rest of us! Megan Egerton Author/Principal [...]

I came across this book by accident and can't live without having it on by scrapbooking desk. You can look up any subject and have a great page title. If you are an avid scrapbooker, you have to by this book.

... some [of the quotes] can be claimed to be 'negative', but they are actually quite true. If you want motivating quotes, get a motivational book! There is Anthony Robbins and Stephen R. Covey for that.If you're looking for a quotation book that will help in speeches, conversation or essays, this is a useful book to have. The supposed 'negative' comments are so true when you think about it, and those that you find completely untrue are really there for the humour only. The quotes about girls may get a little painful if said mentioned in a grave manner. But someone who says "Attention girls: Always save a boyfriend for a rainy day -- and another one in case it doesn't rain" with a wide smile on his face, ending a speech.I strongly suspect that the crowd will be in laughter rather than angry at that. There are some very meaningful quotes too, like "It's better to look where you're going than to see where you've been". This book isn't bad at all!One thing though, that I don't like about this book is that it doesn't attribute who the quotes are from. If that is important to you, then don't get this book. For those who find that it is extremely important, yet want this book badly, you can simply type in the whole quote in any search engine on the internet and viola, you'll find websites with these quotes and the proper attributions.Get this book if you want nice quotes without attributes, and quotes that you can use to humour many people (some are outrageously hilarious while being so true). Get it if you want to boost wrtings, and of course learn from the profound minds who wrote these quotes.

This book has it all. Quotes that will make you laugh and others that will make you think. You'll recognize many of the names and will never have heard of others. But rest assured that when you put this book down at the end of the day you'll feel a little more inspired.
