Best Quotations for All Occasions: Your Key to Wit & Wisdom-A Special Selection of Enduring Quotations from the Best That Has Been Written and Said

This book is full of many interesting quotes from many famous historical figures. The only thing I did not enjoy about this book is the quotes are mostly from the 1500s, 1600s, and 1700s. I was hoping to see some quotes from more modern sources and/or public figures. All and all though it's a great little book with a wealth of interesting quotes in it and for only $7.95 I can't complain :)

only payed .01 plus tax so sent to Good Will. I love qoutes and have several books of them at home, but was so dissappointed in this one. They were short,stupid and of no wisdom. (maybe a couple) Wouldn't recommend this one to anyone. On the other hand I got it fast but not in the condition promised. I bought it used but, looking like new? No.

Loved reading this book.Use these quotes daily

I have used my quotation dictionaries for decades, and bought this one for a friend. They always provide something appropriate (and different) to write in a greeting card for any occasion. My friend just joined Toastmasters, and is always looking for new ways to phrase something, or inspire her with a topic.

I'm still trying to figure out why I love quotations!...so, what it this "allure" for me?...go figure!..

I found this book to be well written and insightful. It has a quotation on just about every subject matter! I have found it to be informative as well as creative.

love to use quotations

I purchased the book for a friend. The book arrived in great condition and fast.

I think, therefore I am. -DescartesMake haste slowly. -Latin Proverb洋書です。紙の質はよくありません。しかし、かなり量があるのに、お安い。お買い得です。Good, to forgive; Best, to forget. -Browning, La Saisiazアメリカ人は、Speechをするときに、事前にこういう本を開いて気の利いた言葉を捜して味付けをすることがよくあります。だから、このような本は洋書には結構たくさんあります。 For All Occasions とあるように、冠婚葬祭や仕事や学会など、いろいろな場面で使いまわしが利きそうなフレーズがたくさん入っています。ぱらぱらめくっているだけで楽しいです。It is better to have a hen tomorrow than an egg today. -Thomas Fullerアルファベット順に、たとえば、Confidence、Desire、Fame、Happiness、Love、Possession、Reputation、Sea、Smile、Wealthなどのテーマ別に分類されていますので、自由に、好きなところから読めばいいと思います。ことわざが多く収められていますが、有名人の残した言葉もたくさん登場します。One today is worth two tomorrows. -FranklinI never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work. -Edison私は他にも類書を持っていますが、この本はもっとも標準的で、素直で、平易な表現が多いような気がします。そういう意味で、英語が好きな人が、気晴らしに開いて自分の好きな言葉を英語で捜して覚えたりする用途にも向いていると思います。
