Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Review: It's amazing how a book can contain so many wise ideas and mainly be the ideas that have been said before. The author is a good chooser of quotes and writings that stimulate the intelligence and imagination. GOOD JOB!!! Jeffrey McAndrew author of "Our Brown-Eyed Boy"
Rating: Summary: Good book this is. Review: This book has alot of inspiring quotes. I found myself writingthem down in my own notebooks. The only thing is after reading this book it made me feel like I wasn't living my life to the fullest, because I wasn't doing something groundbreaking with my life, like leading a revolution to feed the hungry or something. It's the same feeling I get after watching Oprah Winfrey. Read the book.
Rating: Summary: Words I am glad I read. Review: This book has something for everyone. It is a wonderful collection of thoughts and phrases that truely inspire and bring to light things that are too easily forgotten in todays hectic world. I also loved Mr. Fulghums breif summarys of the writers and what inspired him to include them in this volume. Well worth the price of admission.
Rating: Summary: A Book of "Words I Wish I Wrote" Review: This book has to be one of the best that I have ever read. The effect that it has on the reader is immediate and profound, for it has a way of showing you life through the simplest and yet most obtuse terms. It is truly a piece that will expand the mind and inspire the imagination, a much read for any "thinker."

Rating: Summary: Great Introduction to a Variety of Authors Review: This book is a beloved part of my book collection because (1) it is a phenomenal compilation that introduces the reader to a variety of authors and (2) Fulghum's additions make the collection more of a book than merely a list of quotes. Highly recommended!
Rating: Summary: I wish I wrote them, myself Review: This is a fine collection of philosophical quotes. Not your typical tome of quotations, Fulghum selected a handful of quotes under each of a few carefully selected topics so that the meaning isn't lost among the masses of selections other collections provide. Most of the selections, accompanied with Fulghum's introductory short essays, give the mind something to turn over and chew on. Enjoyable.
