Product Description:
"Talkers are no good doers."-- William Shakespeare
"The height of cleverness is to be able to conceal it."-- FranÇois, Duc de La Rochefoucauld
"It is hard to believe a man is telling you the truth when you know you would lie if you were in his place."-- H. L. Mencken
"It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.-- Gore Vidal
"Women keep a special corner of their hearts for sins theyhave never committed."-- Cornelia Otis Skinner
"You lose it if you talk about it.-- Ernest Hemingway
"The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober."-- William Butler Yeats
"Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five."-- William Somerset Maugham
You don't have to be a genius to sound like one. Here's a collection of the most profound and provocative wit and wisdom in the English language in two lines or less. Edited by entrepreneur John M. Shanahan, who created the wildly successful Hooked on Phonics program, this wonderful book presents the best that has been thought and said on every imaginable topic.
Classified by such themes as "Truth, Lies, and Deception," "Men, Women, and Relationships," and "Passions, Virtues, and Vices," these quotes contain timeless messages for all humankind. Oscar Wilde: "A man who marries his mistress leaves a vacancy in that position." Charles de Gaulle: "The cemetery is filled with indispensable men." Abraham Lincoln: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Sophocles: "Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it."
Perfect for anyone who has ever been left speechless, this book will make you as glib as Oscar Wilde, as profound as Winston Churchill, and as wise as Aesop. Inspirational, entertaining, and thought-provoking, this is one collection that no library or bookshelf should be without.

- short review of the book
perhaps the most enlightening book of my life, you really feel as though 100's of years of human experience, knowledge and intellect have been on nearly every occasion condensed down to 2 lines or less, a completely certain must read for anybody who has every had a thought........?!?!?!?!?!

- You've got to be kidding!
If this editor really thinks these are the most brilliant thoughts of all time, he needs to get out more. A few gems, but mostly tired truisms from the 1900's and before. Nothing much new. I found this book disappointing and boring, which is unfortunate, since it includes a CD with all of the content included. But here is some good news; if you are looking for something similar that will really inspire and entertain you a far better choice is-

Rating: - I have two copies - i can't be without it!
This is an amazing quote book. I manage a large office of creative staff and I
also attend many business functions where I am often called upon to make
speeches. I use the quotes in this book when communicating with my staff and
colleagues. I like to throw in a few quotes from Mr. Shanahan's book, it never
lets me down when I need to make a point subtly and eloquently.
I find a great way to start the business day on a positive note is to

- Lots of Profound Quotations
I REALLY like reading quotations & this book is FULL of them, BUT the author, John Shanahan, has attempted his 15 minutes of fame by including his own quotations, most of which I read & said, "HUH??" because they are not up to the same quality as the others. However, it IS his book! Great read, tho!

- Literature ?
As books of this type go it is about what I expected, a real novelty. I may find a few items to quote, but most are not very profound nor of great interest.
