Speaker's Treasury of Quotations: Thoughts, Maxims, Witticisms and Quips for Speeches and Presentations

Every public speaker can benefit from an apt quotation to illuminate a speaking point. This compilation of 2,116 quotations in 263 broad subject categories is useful for political, motivational, and other public speakers along with speech writers, planners, and researchers. The topics range from <i>Ability</i> (&quot;Out of my lean and low ability I'll lend you something&quot;--Shakespeare) to <i>Youth</i> (&quot;I suppose it's difficult for the young to realize that one may be old without being a fool&quot;--William Somerset Maugham) . Each entry is credited to its author, the work in which it appeared (when appropriate) , and the date of origin. There are two indexes: of authors (to topics and their entry numbers) and of highly detailed keywords-in-context (to their entries) .
