Great little book October 18, 2008 Jill C. Mundy (atlanta) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is small enough I can keep it in my purse and always have it handy. It is filled with many great words of wisdom!
Not too bad October 11, 2007 Jesse Kiengsiri (USA) No issues with this book except it's pretty short. I was hoping there would be a lot more quotes in them. It's only got less than 10 quotes per page.

Great Men, Great Thoughts, Perfect Title August 4, 2007 Jane Layton 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love this book. It may not have 2000 quotes in it, but I have to agree that these are some of mankind's greatest quotes. I received it as a gift and I find it easy to use and lovely to look at. It has over 100 of mankind's most profound insights in one place which makes them easy to refer to. The book was designed so that there are 7 or 8 quotes on a page with a beautiful color photograph next to each page of quotes that is appropriate to the theme of those quotes. The aesthetic affect is a reminder of the depth of life and livingness - something that often gets lost in our day to day lives. The wisdom relayed reminds me that we as mankind have very similar hopes and desires and dreams for ourselves and our family and friends. It is also very therapeutic to be reminded how GREAT each one of us really is. I recommend reading this little book and bringing some joy to your life. You deserve it.
Not worth the price... August 2, 2007 I. Jaime (Brownsville, TX) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have to say that I disagree with the majority of the previous reviewers, in that this book is really not that useful in my eyes. While it does have a few famous and inspirational quotes, it is definitley not worth paying $15 for. Like other readers have mentioned, the book is 50 pages long, with half of them being illustrations. The other 25 pages contain from 4-5 quotes each, for a total of maybe 100 quotes in the entire book. This is the type of book that you would expect to pay $3.95 for at a bookstore, and definitly not $14.95. My suggestion would be to stay away from this book. You are better off getting quotes off the Internet. Just my opinion...
