Quotations for Our Time: Gems of Wit, Brevity and Originality from Minds Ancient and Modern - Softcover
Synopsis
A treasury of wit and wisdom for public speakers, writers and anyone making a speech. If you have ever needed a pithy remark that makes a witty comment and is bang up to date then this is the book for you. It is the most readable, complete and entertaining collection of quotations ever assembled and each quotation has been chosen for its brevity and relevance to modern life by theman who has given us (and the world's dictionaries) that classic law of managerial incompetence, the Peter Principle. Over 5,000 quotations are assembled alphabetically by subject; grouped according to the ideas they contain, rather than the actual words, with an abundance of little-known gems, this is a book designed for ease of use. If you need a comment on a particular subject just consult the table of subjects, if you need a quote from a particular individual then just check the index of authors. Either way you will be distracted along the way by some sparkling quotation that catches your eye. Representing the cream of wit and wisdom, this is a source-book for veryone who loves dexterity with words.
