A Speaker’s Treasury of Quotations: Thoughts, Maxims, Witticisms and Quips for Speeches and Presentations

Michael C. Thomsett,Linda Rose Thomsett

Every public speaker will at some point face the challenge of providing relevant and appropriate quotations to introduce, highlight or otherwise reinforce his speaking points. This book is a compilation of 2,116 quotations in 263 broad subject categories and is useful for political, motivational, and other public speakers along with speech writers, planners, and researchers. Entries are numbered and organized alphabetically by topic, from quotations on ability (‘Out of my lean and low ability I’ll lend you something’ - Shakespeare) to quotations on youth (‘I suppose it’s difficult for the young to realize that one may be old without being a fool’ - William Somerset Maugham).For each entry, the quotation is given first, followed by its author, the work in which it appeared (when appropriate), and the date of origin. In this title, a second section cross-references authors to topic/quotation numbers, while a third section provides a highly detailed keyword and phrase cross-reference to specific quotations by number.
