Quotations Books

"Blowing Smoke" is the perfect coffee-table book for cigar lovers! Full of humor and history, I enjoyed both the fun and the insights to famous people like Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling. This book would make the perfect gift for anyone you know who loves cigars.

I'm not a cigar smoker and the current cigar mania cracks me up--but I do like learning funny and interesting things about any subject. Blowing Smoke showed me how cigars have been a part of the world's culture and history. If you read this book, you'll be surprised to see who said what about cigars. I browsed through the quotes and stories, then ended up starting over and reading the book cover-to-cover. What a fun pleasure this book is!

I bought this journal for my mom, and now I wish that I had gotten one for myself, as well. There are guided questions and lists on one side. Then, you can flip it over and use it as a regular journal. The pictures and quotes are neat and make you smile.

When I saw this journal I couldn't resist it. Even it's cover (the frown-y frog) makes me smile! It's a great journal with re-affirming quotes and funny animal pictures on every page. It encourages me to write out my feelings when I'm sad, mad...even glad! I love it so much that I can't even reserve it for blue days-it has become an everyday journal for me.
The directory in the back allows you to make lists of your favorite things, activities, places, foods, etc. so when you're feeling crummy you know how to pamper yourself. Just filling out the directory has made me think about what I really enjoy and consider adding more of these favorites to my every day life.

If I could give this book, ten stars, I would. Of course, I'm biased because I'm the author. I loved compiling the quotes for this book. I always knew pro wrestlers were funny, I just had no idea how funny! Let me give you a few:

Jerry Lawler on Rikishi--"His belly button doesn't have lint--it has sweaters."

Jerry Lawler on Mankind--"He's not too smart, but he leads the league in nose hairs."

Vince McMahon on Boxing--"The trouble with boxing is that it lacks credibility."

For 998 more funny one liners about pro wrestling, I urge you to buy this book. For more info about my books, contact me at glennliebman.com. Thank you and enjoy the book.

Well, I'm not Glenn Liebman nor do I know him. But this has got to be the funniest book I've read in a long time.

For the wrestling fan, it will bring back many memorable moments. For the non-fan, it's still a great read. You can't help but admire the creativity of the people who came up with these one-liners, whether it was the wrestlers themselves or their writers.

I'm sure I'll find it handy the next time I'm in an argument!

This is a beautiful, and thought-inspiring book. A beautiful gift for anyone dealing with issues of Forgiveness for themselves or others. MagieAn does a fabulous job!

ok, so I'm a bit biased... but MagieAn is my mother... This book is beautifully done. A treasure for anyone working through issues of forgiveness. Enjoy!

I bought this book for an Italian-American friend of mine who has often expressed ambivalence about his heritage. He seemed to appreciate it!

I gave this book to my brother for Christmas and he thanks me every time he sees me. He reads a little bit of "wisdom" when he can and enjoys it.

I found this book at an old, used bookstore. It is a treasure.I Was so excited to know I can depend on Amazon to find another copy for a friend. The book is filled with Jewish history, poetry, stories and statements. It is a wonderful book of thoughts to ponder and learn from. Martha

Anyone who knows the Hertz Chumash knows what a sublime and deep interpreter of Jewish texts Rabbi Hertz could be. This small work which in some areas is dated reflects that depth and sublimity in most areas.

This book was great!!

How did he find out what Mike Meyers of Wayne's World said about kissing Madonna? Or what Kevin Costner said about kissing in the movies? These quotes are worth the price of the book

THE BOOK OF LOVE examines the possibilities and challenges of love, inviting the reader to enter the imaginations of others who have examined this greatest of all virtues. Images of love give wing to imagination and the lifting of our spirits as the words through the centuries and from across the world inspire reflection. Some sections give obvious answers to love's meaning even as others present the troubling aspects of love that can confound us all.

Authors Andrew M. Greeley, a Catholic priest and best-selling author, and his sister Mary G. Durkin, a pastoral theologian and author, co-edit this collection on love. Drawing from poetry, folklore, sayings, music, stories and autobiographical reflections, these experts from around the world examine the question of love's meaning. More than just sentimental mush, in the hands of these editors, love unfolds as defining virtue that bonds us each to the other and to the divine. THE BOOK OF LOVE comes very highly recommended.

In this collection of poetry, vignettes, Bible verses, legends, and classical literary quotes, the editors delve into the nature of the finest human emotion, that of love. All forms of it are examined, young love and old, love lost and love that is never lost, love between Man and God, love in families, romance, love of nature, etc. Even though many of the stories will be familiar, seen in this new presentation, they take upon added depth and meaning. Readers will come away knowing that love is both the most simple thing in the world, and at the same moment, the most complex.

This book is the best I've seen....on positive quotes and inspirational ones....If you're into inspirational quotes and want them broken down by category, this is your book. ;)~

This book is an excellent collection of positive quotes. Particularly useful is that the book is divided into Parts (Peace of Mind, Living One Day At A Time, Preparing For Success, Knowing What To Do, Overcoming Negatives And Uncertainties, Making Dreams Come True), and then sub-parts within those parts (such as acceptance, happiness, prayer, self-confidence, the past, the present, this moment, hope, role models, change, decisions, realistic expectations, fear, worry, risks, courage, success, commitment, just do the footwork then let it go, perseverance, failures and mistakes, the advantages of adversity, reacting to events, etc.). Within every Part are anywhere from five to seventeen sub-parts, and within every sub-part are anywhere from several to numerous quotes. These divisions are very useful when looking for quotes that pertain to a particular topic. The quotes come from a wide diversity of people and time periods, making this a rich source from which to find and choose quotes that fit an individual's present circumstances and can provide encouragement and motivation in those circumstances. With 704 pages of actual quotes, it provides a wealth of quotes to peruse. What I appreciate about this book is that it's not comprised of simply "cheery platitudes," but instead contains many thought-provoking and motivating quotes. This is the best quote book I've come across yet.

" 'The Book of Understanding' is an encyclopedic work enabling us to ascend the Ladder of Understanding. The author carefully documents each rung of the ladder as it commences from the foundation which is: 'The fear of The Lord' all the way up to the Truth at the very summit. As he presents each rung of the ladder he calls upon the Holy Scriptures, Midrashic and other rabbinic texts, the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, the Zohar, in addition to commentaries from both Christian and Jewish tradition. So much scholarship is methodically and clearly compiled so as to prove each step up the ladder, beyond the shadow of a doubt. The author systematically searches and researches the sources to painstakingly interpret each word validating each step. Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge, all sound so much alike but he helps us to know the nuances between them - the development and advancement from one to the other. Each rung requires meditation and contemplation for he focuses our attention on how one can live the 'good life' fulfilling the purpose for which we were created, and the goals of the Almighty. 'The Book of Understanding' is in essence a text-book of life, a major contribution for those who seek a way of life based on fundamental faith leading to Understanding." - Rabbi Joseph H. Ehrenkranz, Executive Director - The Center for Christian Jewish Understanding, Fairfield, Connecticut 06432

"This remarkable book is on the concept of understanding as reflected in the Bible , the Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo Judaeus, the Talmuds, the Zohar and a very wide range of Church Fathers, Rabbinic, and ancient Egyptian, Ugaritic and Babylonian writings. There is, to my knowledge, no other work on the theme of Understanding assembled with such vast industry from an extraordinarily wide scope of ancient literatures." - Bruce M. Metzger, Ph.D.,L.H.D., Theol. Professor of New Testament Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary. Editor of "The Oxford Annotated Bible" and Editor in Chief of the "Revised Standard Version Bible" and "The New Revised Standard Version Bible.
