The Big Book of Quotes: Funny, Inspirational and Motivational Quotes on Life, Love and Much Else (Quotes For Every Occasion)

My brother reads all the time and this book was a gift. He really enjoyed the material in this informative book.

I really like this book and the way the quotes are divided up. I also like the fact that there are so many quotes from famous people.

But I think they sound to idealistic for our times . They sound more old than retro. I am sure quots and wisdom get outdated at slower rate than everything else, but they do as well. They get old and die, if they aren't funny.

Personally, I am obsessed with gaining knowledge ( a nerd for good non-fiction books, I guess). The bible says to gain knowledge to gain wisdom. How else can it be done? I find no other way that to search, read, study what individuals much smarter than me have experienced. With this book, you are looking across several hundred years (maybe over 1,000 years) of knowledge and wisdom, gained. You are only given approximately 70 years, plus or minus, to experience and learn. Not long, right? By reading biographies and quotes of many people you can have access to a thousand years experiences, and knowledge, to gain wisdom, which makes all of our lives richer and happier, in may ways. Few people seem to understand this and fewer still, even care. It's the rare few who do, who become the movers and shakers on this planet.

Found some typos, pretty unforgivable for a published item, but am most bothered by the repeated quotes, and the downright mean chapter on George W. Bush. Not our greatest orator, certainly, but, if you read the transcript of most people speaking, we all sound pretty strange, using broken sentences, and correcting ourselves. This chapter, as I say, is downright mean--pretty petty for a writer.

Very comprehensive!

Love Quotes! I make quote books on colored paper and stickers drawings and pictures plus of course quotes that I get from the internet. I bought this book on my kindle and it's a lot of fun!

I use a quote each day to display to my coworkers. Very inspiring.

This book will not be for everyone. It will appeal to people with a philosophical outlook who give a lot of thought to all aspects of life and of human behaviour. The great majority of quotes here, and there are a mountain of them, have something important to say and be considered. (eg.- 'illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States, ask any Indian!') Many, many are also very funny - a great book and HIGHLY recommended. Thanks - Terry.

The right way to kill time. Found a lot of pearls of wisdom. Best section for me was the "last words".

A variety of quotes that offer insights, humour, philosophy, and perspective. A nice book to read in spurts, and I look forward to reviewing my notes

I ordered this product fall 2024 and have read about five pages. I'm reading about politics, a topic early in the book. I'm enjoying reading this book because there are a good variety of quotes, they are organized by topic, and the quotes are a quick read allowing me to pause reading anytime. I recommend this book to ages 18+.

The book is amazing! There so many great quotes !
