Summary: One of my most used books
Review: I've had this book for a couple of years and find myself going back to it freqently. It includes great treasures of wit, wisdom, and inspiration. Too often today we forget the thoughtfulness of our forefathers. Too bad tlv106@aol.com from Tampa, Florida thinks this wisdom is "corporate America propaganda."

Summary: A thinking conservative's quotations
Review: There are two books entitled "The Quotable Conservative." The other one, compiled by Bill Adler, includes many lightweight one-liners and clever quips of conservatives in its 150 pages. It is weighted towards the quotations of politicians and other political practicioners. This book is richer and deeper. While it includes some of the quotations found in Adler's book, its 260 pages reach beyond politics, and often include whole paragraphs of thoughtful prose from their source. Here, the thinking conservative will find important ideas from philosophers and fine commentators ranging from Aristotle and Acton to Tyrell and Sowell, from Adams and Bastiat to Will and Williams. Both books are nicely-sized 6" X 6" formats, and both are worthwhile acquisitions. However if the fiscally conservative reader wishes to buy only one book of conservative quotations, this is the one.
