Regardless of your political view this book clearly shows all of us how fortunate we are to be living in this country. A wide and varied list of extremely famous celebs, barry bonds, dennis miller, tommy lee, donald trump, president bush, peter jennings, mia hamn, and the list goes on and on. All tell us in their own words and essays how they feel about this country. Extremely informative and entertaining. A coffee table book that is attractive yet informative. Easy reading for all ages.

Thanks ms. liberman........a new fan..

This is a tremendous tribute to America by some of the top celebrites in the country. Their true love of their country shines through with no partisan bias. This is what America should be like, united instead of divided! Love this collection of quotes.

Compiled and organized by veteran talk show host and television producer Jill Liberman, American Pride: Famous Americans Celebrate The USA is an impressive and enthusiastically recommended tribute that combines vivid photography with the stirring words of famous Americans to present a memorable and articulate tribute in honor of America itself and the ideals it stands for. Quotes from Arnold Schwartezenegger, Dennis Miller, Dixie Carter, Pat Sajak, Lee Greenwood and a great many more American men and women reflect pride, patriotism, love, and joy in this heartwarming and unique collective testament of appreciation.

Wonderfully done and you can't put it down. Gives one the nice warm fuzzies. It's a small book, but a treasure.

I received this book as a gift from my friend who knows how much I like Sandra Kuck. This book is so sweet, it takes you back to the simpler things in life and puts us back in touch with our feelings. Every print in this book is wonderfully detailed and so realistic. The pictures make you want to reach in and pinch that chubby little baby cheek. I keep it on my coffee table and everyone who visits can't help but pick it up. Everyone says the same thing, the details of the children are incredible. I have also received Treasured Friends along with Angel Kisses as a gift and this book is such a great companion to Angel Kisses.

I think this is truly wonderful, but I love everything Sandra Kuck does, she has so much beauty to share with the world and I have met her several times and she is as beautiful in person as the beauty she creates. I think I found her work at the time in my life I needed to stop and smell the roses and I continue to enjoy everything she is connected to.

I absoultely loved this book. The poetry written was fabulous. But of course, I must say that since my poem is one of them. :-) Highly recommended!

My five-year old daughter found this adorable little book recently and we bought it for her to give to an aunt at an upcoming baby shower. It is chock-full of quotations from folks both famous and not so famous, and the reactions any parent will have will range from outright laughter to puddling up. I don't know how author Janet Lanese rounded up all this good stuff, but she did a super job. A sampling:

"The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have."

- RING LARDNER

"To my embarrassment, I was born in bed with a lady."
- WILSON MIZNER

"When I was born, I was so surprised I couldn't talk for a year and a half."
- GRACIE ALLEN

"One trouble in raising a boy is that father always expects son to do exactly as much work as he never did."
- ANONYMOUS

"When we look at actual children, no matter how they are raised, we notice immediately that little girls are in fact smaller versions of real human beings, whereas little boys are Pod People from the Planet Destructo."
- DAVE BARRY

"I just can't get over how much babies cry. I really had no idea what I was getting into. To tell you the truth, I thought it would be more like getting a cat."
- ANNE LAMOTT

You get the idea. Not only is the text eminently readable, but the design is attractive and enhances the quotations. Old-fashioned line drawings and silhouettes abound. All in all, this is a wonderful, wonderful book and just perfect for a niece to give her aunt for the aunt's baby shower--or for anyone to give to anyone who has children either old or young.

This lady knows how to capture the essence of how a baby affects the lives of all those they touch, whether they be blood-related or by choice. She has the knack to not only interview the world of babies, but how to relate all the gamut of feelings that babies bring to our lives. It brought back memories to me of when I was a new mother at age 19 and how prescious was by baby to me, and what did he think about the world he came tumbling into, and this young lady who thought she knew how to handle it all! Good lessons and insight, reviewed and remembered, all which can still be revisited with every new baby I hold and cuddle, even my own! AND, how much love and knowledge, patience and endurance our babies pass on to us!

Hi, I am biased because I am the author, but this is a hilarious book about baseball's all-time great characters from Casey to Yogi and everyone in between. There are so many great characters in baseball that this book had me laughing from beginning to end during compilation of this book. If you would like more information about this book or any of my books, contact me at glennliebman.com. Thank you for your time.

This is the funnest baseball book I have ever read! With quotes on every thing for fielding "First I pray to God that nobody hits a ball to me. Then I pry that nobody hits the ball to Steve Sax." Pedro Guerrero. To autograph signings "It was fun until a kid came up to me and said, 'my dad says you're getting old, you're going to die, and your autograph will be Valuable.'" Warren Spahn, on autograph shows. With all the funny quotes in this book you will have a stomach ache for days. Buy it now!

As a longtime baseball fan I felt that I had to comment on Mr. Liebman's tome. I have received countless hours of enjoyment from reading the quotes. I have also given the book as a gift to many baseball buddies of mine and they have been equally impressed. Well done Mr. Liebman - Casey salutes you!

This is very nice collection of quotes from ancient Greece. It's great for browsing or reading from start to finish. I devoured it on a short flight and still refer to it regularly.

The ancient Greeks were something special and this book shows off their wisdom, creativity and value to contemporary people.

Steven Stavropoulos has chosen some of the most well known quotes of the ancient Greeks for this book, and some which are more difficult to find. This is an excellent reference book for anyone who would like to quickly look up a quote on "love", "virtue", "justice", etc. I can see where his translation is slightly diffent from others that I have read, but the message is still transmitted very accurately. This is a must own for anyone who enjoys reading about Greek philosophy, theater or culture.

I found each quote here more fascinating and profound than the next. I find myself thinking about the ideas here all the time and USING them. They're profound but also simple -- just straight forward, ethical answers. The Ancient Greeks really did seem to have figured out so much way back when. We've just mussed it all up. A wonderful book. Thank you.

This is a wonderful book to send along with your condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one. The illustrations of songbirds together with the beautiful verses are truly lovely. This book will be a special keepsake for any bereaved family. I've already ordered extra copies to use as needed.

Gift book that is a beautiful illustration of flowers and birds. Not just average illustrations but soft pastels and lifelike birds. Lovely script. Not obnoxiously and superficial scripture. I wanted to keep opening it and looking at the pages over and over.

A small beautifully illustrated book (Carolyn Shores Wright) of prayers of God's comfort and love. The illustrations are of different small birds and are worth the price of the book alone. Would make a great gift for anyone going through difficult times..

Sumner Fowler is an excellent photographer. I knew him in high school when he was a photographer for The Birmingham Eccentric. Even back then he had an eye for the unique. He knew what he wanted and was patient enough to wait for the right lighting, the right nod of the head or the look in the eyes. He saw life through a photographers lens. His talent has grown and he has captured the delightfullness of the animal world. Best Friends, is evidence of where Sumner's heart, as well as talent lies......

"How many hearts with warm red blood in them are beating under cover of the woods tonight, and how many teeth and eyes are shining! A multitude of animal people intimately related to us, but of whose lives we know almost nothing, are as busy about their own affairs as we are about ours." John Muir

Sumner's camera takes us into the lives of the animals he has photographed here. I highly recommend the book. The proceeds go to an excellent cause.

Each photo in this book touched me in some way for the better. Mr Fowler certainly has a magic touch with his camera. I'm hoping he comes out with more books.

Beautiful black and white photographs--the look of unconditional love in a beagle's eye, a sleepy yawn from a tabby. These and other photos (there's horses too!) of rescued animals make this book completely heartwarming.

This book has a truly excellent selection of quotes. There are no dud quotes or ones that leave you guessing. Lewis Henry has done an admirable editing job.

THE VERY BOOK I HAVE SEEN ON QUOTES AND EAZY TO APPLY.

I purchased this book on this website, not only did it come exactly on the date it said it would but the book is excellent. Im a sophmore in high school, and wanted a book that would give me something compelling to write in essays, Im sure (I've yet to write one, having just received the book 3 hours ago) it will be helpful. Its arranged wonderfully and the cover is pink! P.S. I also bought Inspirational Quotes in hardcover also good! Bravo

i love this thing. mine's not the prettiest to look at anymore; the covers are beaten, the pages are frayed and torn and dog-eared, and the whole thing is held together with a jumbo rubber band (the blue elastic broke.) this little book holds my life: poetry, pictures, sketches, quotes, and even a few take-out menues. great for poets, writers, artists, humans. small enough to fit just about anywhere, but not so small you can't fit more than two words on a page.

get one.

This notebook is great. I initially picked it up as journal potential. Turns out the layout and designs on each page inspired my creativity. I now use it for poetry, drawings, and any other silly nonsense I feel like jotting down. Small enough to carry around with you and even has a pencil holder so you're never without a place to jot down your ideas. Great for any age.

As a graphic design major, I'm required to keep sketchbooks for both my design and fine arts courses, but I find the traditional black cover and huge blank pages intimidating when I want to explore some of my own thoughts, not just assigned projects. They also leave me feeling exposed - some part of my brain refuses to believe that I won't have to turn them in for a grade and therefore reveal all of my personal writings and ideas to someone who hardly knows the real me.

That's why I was so excited when I found this little notebook. I wasn't even looking for one, but when I saw the colorful cover and the whimsical illustration and type, I was drawn to it. When I looked inside, I was further delighted by the variety of blank pages - some are college-ruled and some are blank, while there are others with a rectangular grid. Some have a 7-inch ruler at the side, and they all have random little illustrations at the bottom of the page. There's also a little flip-book action going on with the frog illustration at the right side of the pages - it's really cute. Along with the visual intrigue is some textual intrigue, as well; at the top of each page are three words, such as "knitting bird hospital" or "ant searching blue". These are just another entertaining detail, and I'm sure they could produce some interesting word association exercises.

Because of the way the journal is bound, there are some creasing issues when you stretch open the book, but I find that it's actually nice to have a sketchbook that isn't so perfect and imposing all of the time - the wear and tear just increases its charm. There are also two elastic loops on the side to hold a pencil or pen so that you're never left scrambling for a writing utensil when that next great idea hits. I prefer using a mechanical pencil because it can hook over one of the loops and stay there. The elastic band that keeps the book closed gives me a great sense of security and privacy, which are so important to the creative process.

Overall, I'm delighted with this little notebook and I'm so glad I found it in the clearance section at the local bookstore. If you're an artist or a writer, or perhaps just someone who likes to doodle, this is a wonderful notebook for you. Love it!

What an amazing book for adults! Illustrations are wonderful and the messages are so uplifting. This is especially helpful for someone going through a difficult time or anyone who needs spiritual encouragement.

The Book of Courage is fabulous! The inspiring illustrations and quotations mellowed me out after a very busy, insane kind of day, - creating within me a sense of peace and "coming home"

Westport, CT

This little book on courage offers wonderful insight and inspiration for anyone desiring to overcome fears. You can open the book at any point, read a quote, be inspired by the beautiful illustrations and gain a heightened sense of bravery. I recommend this book to anyone striving to live fearlessly.
