Books and Reading: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions: Speeches/Quotations)

“Let blockheads read what blockheads write,” suggested Lord Chesterfield. W. H. Auden once said, “Some books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered.” And TV celebrity Jerry Seinfeld noted: “The big advantage of a book is that it’s very easy to rewind. Close it and you’re right back at the beginning.”
Over 450 memorable quotes about books and reading fill these pages—with provocative declarations from Mark Twain, Virginia Woolf, Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt, James Thurber, Anna Quindlen, and Oprah Winfrey, and scores of other writers, political figures, and celebrities.
A handy aid for speech writers and public speakers, this entertaining collection will also delight general readers.

INSPIRATIONAL LEADERS: Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Queen Elizabeth II & Pope Francis – 4 Books in 1

Featuring…

*Nelson Mandela

*Martin Luther King Jr.

*Queen Elizabeth II

*Pope Francis

4 Great Books in 1!

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is arguably the most important South African ever to have lived, and a true giant of the 20th century. His journey from humble beginnings to the highest office is an inspiration to millions worldwide. His well-publicised oppression at the hands of the authorities was the making of his legendary status. But perhaps his biggest achievement came in reshaping South Africa as a truly rainbow nation, overcoming, at least in part, the artificial barriers of the past.

This Nelson Mandela biography looks at his life, his struggles and his rise to power, marking the life of a true icon of our time.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Not only was Martin Luther King responsible for some of the most dramatic political opposition to segregation and racism, he is the reason that civil disobedience was the main tool of the Civil Rights Movement. King was a pacifist and urged his followers to follow suit. He was able to gather the courage to do this by studying the ways of the indomitable Mahatma Gandhi and the incredible victories achievable by using only peaceful techniques.

Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. This book is his story.

Queen Elizabeth II

At some point, when they reach their mid-sixties, most people will accept the ravages of later middle age and gracefully, often gratefully, ease themselves into retirement. Not so the Queen.

At 91 years, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II continues to work hard at her numerous duties for the nation and Commonwealth.

Having held the throne for 65 years, she continues to demonstrate her commitment to fulfilling her various roles – Head of State, figurehead of many charities, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, upholder of the faith for the Church of Scotland.

How has she achieved this? What enabled her to overcome the tribulations of the ‘80s and ‘90s? And why does she remain loved and respected in the hearts of so many?

Pope Francis

The last pope to resign was Gregory XII in 1417, who had been forced to do so. Benedict XVI gave as his reasons for resigning as declining health due to old age.

In his place came one Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, assuming the role with the iconic phrase “Accepto…I shall be known as Francis’. A catholic moderniser in his own right, Pope Francis has already made a lasting impression on the papacy. This is his story.
