One of the best ways to do that is by the use of Proverbs and wise sayings. From a long time ago, humanity has used proverbs as a powerful communications tool to convey all kinds of information. This is true for happiness, situations of celebrations, caution, anger, love, hate, learning, or teaching. Although these quotes and wise sayings are ubiquitous worldwide, you will find that each group tends to have preferences for certain types of expressions. This peculiarity could be how the quotes are said, the settings that invoke them, the mood that inspires or trigger them, or any other event that makes them express their common proverbs. Proverbs are essential in an average man or woman's daily lives in this modern age where most of us are busy with the stresses of the computer and information age that we hardly have time to smell the coffee. Proverbs are usually short, simple, and generally easy to understand and a compelling way to say something shortly and concisely.

By having thousands of sayings at your fingertips, as they have laid out in this book, you will quickly become used to citing sayings and quotes that will convey your intellectual and poetic capabilities to your family, friends, colleagues, and others.

Download or read book Quotes by Great Americans written by M Prefontaine and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A list of the 50 Greatest Americans will inevitably be subjective and open to argument. There can be no defined parameters of greatness and the list would be ever changing as time goes on. How can we compare greatness and achievements in one field with those in another? However, while it may well be that greatness is something that is difficult to define, I think we all know it when we see it. This list is simply my list, today. It was William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night who said "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." There are some of all of these within this book. The purpose of the book is to provide a glimpse into the thinking and circumstances that made these people great, through their own words. Whether they were born great, achieved great things or lived in challenging times that demanded greatness can perhaps be seen through their thoughts which summarized their view of the world they were living in. It is a glimpse into the minds and thinking of the people who molded the United States of America and made it the great country that it is today.

Download or read book The Great Book Of Famous Quotes of All Time written by Mazimum C Jerri and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quotes Are Valuable. They Are Knowledge, And Wisdom and Insight. They Offer Us the Opportunity to Learn Through Others. And They Are Great Tools to Reinforce and Reaffirm What We Already Understand. Sometimes Hearing the Words of a Famous or Successful Person Is Enough to Help Us Accept an Idea and Put It into Action. As, Once Zig Ziglar Said, "People Often Say That Motivation Doesn't Last. Well, Neither Does Bathing - That's Why We Recommend It Daily." So Sometimes We Need Something Regularly To Satisfy Our Psychological & Behavioral Needs, Something with Which We Can Overcome Our Daily Difficulties and Live in Harmony. That's Why Quotes Become Very Essential Thing in Life. Whether You Need Motivational Quotes or Funny Quotes or Quotes of Your Idols. In My Series "The Great Book of Famous Quotes of All Time", I've Tried My Best to Satisfy Its Title with My Work. For an Instance, 'The Great', To My Sense Is A Collection of As Many Quotes & Pages as Possible And 'Famous Quotes', Means To Put Only Best of Best Quotes of Particular Field/Person. You May Find Some Categories Having Only a few Pages, Some Even Having Four Pages. That's Nothing but My Determination to Add Only Best Quotes. And as far as It's Concern to Creating This Book, I Remember What George Orwell Said Once, "Writing A Book Is A Horrible, Exhausting Struggle, Like A Long Bout with Some Painful Illness. One Would Never Undertake Such A Thing If One Were Not Driven on By Some Demon Whom One Can Neither Resist nor Understand." I'm Fully Satisfied with Him. It Really Takes Much Time & Hard Work to Arrange Words Images as An Organized Book. And, It Becomes More Terrible If You Don't Belong to This Field Professionally. To Me, This Book Is Nothing but A Project That I Created in One Month of After Semester Vacations for Academic Purposes (And, For Wisdom Purposes Either). You Can Call This Series Truly an Academic Project of Having 200+ Pages & 2000+ Quotes in Very Organized Way. Share these Books Without Any Hesitation. And, Always Remember, "There Are Two Kinds of People; Those Who Do the Work and Those Who Take the Credit. Try to Be in The First Group; There Is Less Competition There. (Indira Gandhi)" So What Kind of Person You Are?
Download or read book They Never Said It written by Paul F. Boller Jr. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-06-14 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln never said, "You cannot fool all the people all the time." Thomas Jefferson never said, "That government is best which governs least." And Horace Greeley never said, "Go west, young man." In They Never Said It, Paul F. Boller, Jr. and John George examine hundreds of misquotations, incorrect attributions, and blatant fabrications, outlining the origins of the quotes and revealing why we should consign them to the historical trashcan. Many of the misquotes are quite harmless. Some are inadvertent misquotes that have become popular (Shakespeare actually said, "The best part of valor is discretion"), others, the inventions of reporters embellishing a story (Franklin Roosevelt never opened a speech to a DAR group with the salutation, "My fellow immigrants"). But some of the quotes, such as Charles Darwin's supposed deathbed recantation of evolution, falsify the historical record with their blatant dishonesty. And other chillingly vicious ones, filled with virulent racial and religious prejudices, completely distort the views of the person supposedly quoted and spread distrust and hatred among the gullible. These include the forged remarks attributed to Benjamin Franklin that Jews should be excluded from America and the fabricated condemnation of Catholics attributed to Lincoln. An entertaining and thought-provoking book, They Never Said It covers a great deal of history and sets it right. Going beyond a mere catalog of popular misconceptions, Boller and George reveal how rightists and leftists, and atheists and evangelists all have at times twisted and even invented the words of eminent figures to promote their own ends. The ultimate debunking reference, it perfectly complements handbooks of quotations.
