Quotations Books

This book will be loved by all cat lovers. Everything from the illustrations to the to the stories has been a great comfort to me after losing my feline" friend" of 16 years. It has even been a delight while getting to know my new feline "friend".

This little book is wonderful and enlightening to all cat lovers and animal lovers. I came across this delightful little book in an office recently. After several searches of numerous book stores, only to my disappointment to find it out of print. I can only hope this little "angel" of a book will reappear, not only for myself, but all those whom are seeking this joyous piece of writing.

This book will be loved by all cat lovers. Everything from the illustrations to the to the stories has been a great comfort to me after losing my feline" friend" of 16 years. It has even been a delight while getting to know my new feline "friend". I just wish it was still in print I would like to have some copies for some friends.

A wonderful coffee table book. Beautiful illustrations and quotations from Andy Warhol. Saw this book at a pop art gallery and had to have it!!

This book is a treasure for anyone who who knows and loves cats. Treat yourself to the upbeat feline philosophy that captures the inner joy awaiting to be born in everyone of us.

I found this book at a pop art display at a local museum and being that I adore cats, this made me appreciate them much more. The book includes beautiful cat illustrations along with quotes from Warhol.

Just a quick note to add to the other reviews. This can be read in one sitting. It's a good coffee table book, nice printing and good art, but if you want a serious book of Chinese wisdom, pick another. This would be a very nice gift to someone with a surface interest in the subject.

This is by no means a scholarly book with pages or single-spaced, tiny printed proverbs. It's a fun little book with cute illustrations that makes it child and adult friendly.

This is a great collection of proverbs. The accompanying art is both clever and charming.

The proverbs are so well translated that no additional explanations regarding the proverbs are provided or needed -- they would only serve to clutter up the page. Most importantly the translations preserve the original "flavor" of each proverb.

Each proverb is written in both English and in traditional Chinese characters.

I own a few books of Chinese Proverbs. This is by far the prettiest and most charming.

This is the first book I've ready by Maxwell and it's wonderful. I will buy other books by him. He is inspirational.

The Choice is Yours is not only a great book to give to a graduate, but an excellent book for leaders. It has great insights in making the right choices. Maxwell fills this book with quotes, and stories that will make it difficult for the reader to put the book down. He is an awesome author on leadership. I have most of his books, and tapes, and this one was a must to add to the collection.

This book is good as a new read or as a reminder. Its sixteen chapters each focus on how different aspects of your character, emotions, actions, and attitudes are all a choice. This book is full of quotes from famous people on each topic. You will journey through Attitude, Character, Values, Self-Discipline, Commitment, Teachability, Initiative, Passion, Courage, Responsibility, Growth, Relationships, Communication, Encouragement, Servanthood and Love. You could flip to almost any page and read a quote or two and be motivated and challenged.

This book is also a primer on Maxwell's thoughts, with an excerpt in almost every chapter from others of his books, up to Winning With People which came out in December 2004. This book is a great jumping off point for personal development.

Maxwell states in The Choice is Yours "To gain `heat' for growth, we need to get close to those who are already hot. Here's how:

Spend time with great people.

Learn their great ideas through tapes, CD's, and DVD's

1. Visit Great places that will inspire you.

2. Attend great events that will prompt you to pursue change.

3. Read great books." P.90

Based on that imagery you can either be a coal in your own fire, or place yourself closer to other coals and burn brighter. I challenge you to read one or more of these books and see if you are not ignited.

This little book is a big help for inspiring young people and coaches!

Great gift idea. Inspiring words from your favorite sports leaders. I enjoyed it.

This is a book of short quotes from coaches of all types of sports. It is inspiring and motivating. One that should be on your shelf!

I went through this book with my mother and I was amazed at how much I learned about her and also vice versa! It was a wonderful tool in our relationship. This guide gave me a more in-depth look at the topics presented in the book Beautiful Girlhood. We had an oppertunity to discuss things we may have never talked about before. I would highly recommed this guide to any one who is interested in gaining a closer mother/dauther relationship or just a better understanding of "girlhood" and its difficulties.

"Every time my daughter and I go through a chapter of The Companion Guide to Beautiful Girlhood after reading Beautiful Girlhood, I come away with the desire to be a better wife, mother and woman. Camille and I enjoy reading the chapters together and going for the challenge. There have been times where Camille and I would groan because we knew we had been the opposite of what God would have us be. This book teaches, rebukes, corrects and encourages us." C.A.

This is not the typical bible. It is written for women by a man who has done an excellent job in relating to the issues women face.
The book selects a topic (i.e. Victory) and gives several scriptural references and a commentary to help reinforce the meaning of the Word so it can become Rhema to the reader.
Someone who is a teacher, writer or leader would do well in purchasing this work!

I bought this for a friend who showed it to her friends. They all wanted one, so we ordered 4 more. GREAT!

The first chapter is the stepping stone to the rest of the book. James Riddle's is discernful and sensitive to the guiding of the Holy Spirit as he unfolds the decrees that we should proclaim because of our standing in Christ. It is truly a great addition to my quiet time.

If you need to write for or speak to an audience, quotes are often a good attention grabber or an excellent way to make a point.

While Bartlett's takes from the world over, this book's focus is on American quotations. Sampling people from all walks of life and all periods of our short history, the American Heritage Dictionary of American Quotations has something for most any subject or major American historical topic a browser might seek to find. The fact that they are American thoughts is helpful in reaching the audiences most of us deal with here in these United States.

With subject, author and key word indices, these 5,000 quotations are well organized and presented in a useful format.

A wonderful aid for speakers, writers, or anyone generally intersted in the wisdom, humor, and insight of great Americans.

The American Heritage Dictionary of American Quotations is a very useful reference as a writer or public speaker. I never fail to marvel at the amount of work that must have gone into compiling this reference! It is very comprehensive and thorough. I enjoy spending time going through and reading all the interesting quotes by all these famous American people. It is a wonderful tool to have around, and I highly recommend owning a copy.

This dictionary stands out because the translations are not literal, but adapted from the culture of each of the two languages: English and Spanish. Eg.: "Tomar el rabano por las hojas - To put the cart before the horse".

I found this dictionary to be the first of its kind. A truly bilingual work which is "the" aid for translators and interpreters of the English and Spanish language who are interested in sayings and proverbs and the wisdom behind each of them adapted to the Anglosaxon or Hispanic cultures.

This book goes beyond merely listing linguistic equivalents of sayings and proverbs. It offers interpretations and insights into the nature and origin of the proverbs that reach across a language spectrum that includes Latin and French. This is excellent for the student of the languages, but translators should not expect a comprehensive collection of sayings and idioms since there are only about 2500 sayings listed here.

This book belongs on your shelf with Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and your favorite dictionary. The quotations are short but amazingly helpful. Emotional and spiritual insights are organized alphabetically by category. Do you have a problem with anxiety? Start with "A." Authors from almost every age and place are represented, culled by a careful and discerning reader.

I've just purchased my fourth and fifth copies of Divine Sparks to give to friends. It's a wonderful collection of wisdom and a great book to curl up with on a cold afternoon with a cup of tea.

'Divine Sparks' is indeed divine- the most wonderful compilation of quotations I've yet to discover. Thank you for sharing your accumulated wisdom.
