quote book

Great book for great quotes. Useful for public speaking when you need something to say and just can't find the right words. I've also given this book to several friends who were going through personal issues and wanted to read something encouraging and uplifting.

Inspiration for today's battles

With so many self-help books on the market today, it's easy to forget that perhaps the greatest lessons come not from today's hottest new talkshow guest, but from those who have weathered history's darkest times. Frederick Talbott has captured the essence of one of history's greatest speakers simply by letting him speak for himself. Winston Churchill's words, spoken in the most trying of times, can give a person a great deal of courage and motivation to cope with today's daily battles.Talbott gives a brief background with each quotation to put the words into context. And that is enough. The beauty and power of Churchill's words and character come through without any additional analysis or insight. And that is the beauty of this book.A must for any Churchill fan or anyone whose daily battles sometimes seem too harsh to bear.
