great for writers

My mother got me this book and I have used it countless times to give flavor to boring text in some of my papers. It really is handy for things like that. Hope you have fun too.

Supplement with The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs.

All the quotations are positive & /or humorous and useable for a family type audience. From Gloria Steinem there is "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." From Charlotte Whitton comes "Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult." If you collect positive or humorous quotes for personal use or public speaking another great resource is THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. It has a topical guide with 96 topics arranged alphabetically. Each topic is amplified by one or more verses from the book of Proverbs. There is also an in-depth commentary with many historical drawings that give you a sense of the culture of the time. In the back are 6 popular translations of Proverbs in parallel.
