The world is full of ideas and there is no better way to capture an idea’s presence than with an inspiring quote.
All of us love a good quote. A great quote is to our linguistic senses what music is to our ears. Many individuals have remarkable ideas, but in our sound bite culture, the clever phrases help us remember the thought or opinion being articulated.
Quotes can show us the essence of an individual. It shows us their character, their values and their beliefs. In turn, a good quote is one that resonates with us showing our own character, values and beliefs. By remembering and expressing some of our favourite quotes, we can articulate what it is that we believe in. Or as Michel de Montaigne says, “When I quote others I do so in order to express my own ideas more clearly.”
This book of quotations offers 4000+ of the world’s favourite quotes. This book has something for everyone (as long as you like quotes!). Directly underneath each quote, you will find the person and vocation of the individual being quoted. Each quote has been handpicked and edited so that all 4000+ are uniquely relevant. There is no bias as to where each quote came from, whether it is from a millionaire, a musician or a Muppet (thank you ‘Kermit the Frog’).
