About this title

Synopsis

For nearly 75 years members of Congress have turned to the Congressional Research Service to track down especially apt quotations or statements that have never before been identified but which have particular pith and punch. In 1989, the Library of Congress published these under the title Respectfully Quoted. The more than 2,100 quotations contained in this book represent the best of this collection of Congressional inquiries.

An essential reference guide for writers and speechmakers, this volume is also extremely convenient. Here is a wealth of classical and modern quotations, international in scope, indexed by subject, author and keyword. From Plutarch to Disraeli, from Shakespeare to John F. Kennedy, this book makes finding the quotation you need quick and easy.

Within these pages you will find the humorous wisdom of Mark Twain; the measured insights of Thoreau; the subtle brilliance of Cicero; the scathing wit of Oscar Wilde and thousands more quotations that have withstood the test of time.

Even if you are not writing an article or preparing a speech, a random flip through this book will prove "fruitful and delightsome."
