The Forbes Book of Business Quotations: 14,266 Thoughts on the Business of Life

Rating:
Summary: Reference Book Limited by Its Origins.
Review: Most of us know by now that Mr. Forbes ran for his party's presidential nomination twice, and lost both times. What some people might not know is that he, and his father before him, ran a successful business magazine. You may be thinking that this is all very good so far but, what does this have to do with this book? Nothing, and everything.

A quotation book, by necessity, must pick and choose those thoughts and ideas, expressed in a quote, which the authors find important and/or useful. This book has too many quotes from Mr. Forbes Sr. He was a great business man, but I didn't find his quotes very insightful. The authors, no doubt, felt compelled to enter this person's thoughts AND THOSE FORBES SR FELT WHERE INFLUENCIAL.

That is this book's flaw. This book has too many quotes which are unneeded or uninteresting, because of the book's origins. If you were a great fan of Mr. Forbes, by all means you should get this book. Otherwise you would be better served and your money will be better spend if you buy a different quote book. Good Luck.

Summary: More than just business
Review: My only complaint about this compilation is that the title is misleading. These are quotes about all aspects of life and human character. The quotes are arranged by theme and carefully indexed by author. It's great for just browsing or for picking up when you need something specific. I own an entire bookshelf of quotation compilations and this is one of my favorites. No quote love should be without this book.

Review: The Forbes Book of Business Quotations is a very useful book. It helped me a lot in finding a good quotation for my Voices of Democracy speech, but I have one small problem. I have no clue who the guy is that worte this excellent quote, and I need help finding him. His name is George E. Stringfellow and you'll find his quote in the section titled America. If you have any information regarding him, please e-mail me at [e-mail]. And if you ever need a good quotation, I suggest you try this book.
