For our purposes, and in keeping with this site's theme, I've selected specific quote books that focus on motivational and uplifting sayings to inspire and nurture the body, mind, and soul. Have a browse through the collection below and I hope you enjoy reading each and every one of them.

  | The Quote Verifier: Who Said What, Where, and When Our language is full of hundreds of quotations that are often cited but seldom confirmed. Ralph Keyes’s The Quote Verifier considers not only classic misquotes such as “Nice guys finish last,” and “Play it again, Sam,” but more surprising ones such as “Ain’t I a woman?” and “Golf is a good walk spoiled,” as well as the origins of popular sayings such as “The opera ain’t over till the fat lady sings,” “No one washes a rented car,” and “Make my day.” Keyes’s in-depth research routinely confounds widespread assumptions about who said what, where, and when. Organized in easy-to-access dictionary form, The Quote Verifier also contains special sections highlighting commonly misquoted people and genres, such as Yogi Berra and Oscar Wilde, famous last words, and misremembered movie lines. |
  | Instant Inspiration: Using Quotes to Guide You to Your Goals Instant Inspiration is a treasury of some of the world's greatest success quotes organized around ten phases in the goal achievement process.

The second part of this book is a Ten-Step Action Plan that corresponds to the ten phases of the program.

The combination of quotes and exercises can be used again and again as an inspirational resource for a lifetime of personal and professional success. |
