The Book of World-Class Quotations

"THE BOOK OF WORLD ~ CLASS QUOTATIONS" carries the sub-title "The Best of the Best Quotations on Earth." It also contains "Guides for Writing Affirmations and for Goal Setting." How does all this relate? Very closely, as it turns out. Heres how: The Quotations: Over a period of decades, the author has accumulated what he considers to be the best of the best quotations ever uttered or written. What were the criteria for inclusion? They were only those quotes that stirred the soul and caused deep reflection. Therefore, they represent a "short list" of what anyone might be seeking for whatever reason. No need to wade through multiple books or Web sites that include thousands of quotations that may be worth writing down, but are clearly "second best." These best quotations have been organized into two broad categories Inspiration for Living and Lessons from Life. There is a third category to bring a smile to your face: Lifes Humor. Quotations within the first two categories have been further divided into subject areas for continuity (see the Table of Contents section below). The quotations are also completely indexed at the end of the book by author and subject area for easy reference. Affirmations and Goal Setting: As this book was being assembled and the quotations were organized into subject areas, it became apparent that, together, they form a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Those quotations that relate to the same or a similar subject can shed new light on each other to give the reader even greater perspectives and insights. They also have the ability to inspire us to greater things. By applying AFFIRMATIONS and GOAL SETTING to the inspiration you will derive from your favorite quotations in this book, you have an exciting tool to assist you in your lifelong journey of affirming all that is right about you today and becoming all that you wish to become tomorrow.
