Rating:  Summary: Librarians like it too! Review: I bought this book for a friend, a TKD black belt, law officer and law student. I read the whole thing the day it came and will not give it up. He gets his OWN copy! Great collection of quotes for anyone who has pride and honor and character and wants to make a big impact in the world, and wants to read the thoughts of others for inspiration. Also for those of us who just like quote collections and/or motivational stuff. Great collection of classic and modern. Asian and Western. Love the theme chapter arrangment too. I'm a law librarian and sleep with my Bartlet's. The last book I got this jazzed up about was The 48 Laws of Power! This book has me even more excited because it fits in my purse!! Great graduation gift for the go-getter!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent bunch of quotes - not just for matrtial artists Review: There are a ton of really inspirational quotes in here. I am a salesperson (and I have practiced tae kwon do for 2 years), and I find the quotes in this book good for both endeavors. The book is well organized and just the right size for travel. I find it fun just to leaf through it. I just bought a copy for my son as well who has just started tae kwon do. I hope that he'll find something in there that will keep him training.
Rating:  Summary: excellent - should be on every martial artist's shelf Review: What a good idea - quotes specifically for martial artists. Although not all the quotes in this book come from martial artists there are a lot of quotes from Musashi, Ueshiba, Bruce Lee etc. There are also a ton from sports, military etc. I particularly liked the sections on leadership and humor. I really enjoyed reading through this book, I'm sure I'll go back to it time to time to find a quote or two.
