My wife bought me this as I used to give a quote of the week when working or add particular quotes to bottom of emails to enhance the effectiveness of the email by pertaining to it in some way or to the person it was written too. Fairly effective way to enhance business relationships or personal relationships.

One of the best quote books out there. We use this at our office to inspire our team, with this week's quote being from Horace: "He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses." Great quotes and we recommend everyone to get this book for some positive vibes.

I am a quote addict and I love this book. It has very inspirational/motivational quotes in it on a variety of topics.

The only problem with the book is it's difficult to find what you are looking for when searching by topic. Other than that, it's a wonderful resource for quote lovers.

I use this book as a resource for my writing. Be aware it has quotes from religions other than Christianity. I don't agree with all the quotes in it, but there are many good ones.
