“Famous Quotes: Quotations on Life, Love, Work, Truth and Motivation with Questions to Ponder” is an excellent collection of quotes. The book is laid out in a very nice way: each chapter is a particular characteristic or topic, like action, courage, gratitude, love, etc. Within each topic are a few (or more than a few) quotes from philosophers, religious thinkers, psychologists, and other famous writers and thinkers.Each chapter is thoughtfully presented, with applicable quotes to the topic at hand. The selection of thinkers and writers quoted from is auspicious and impressive, and I’ve found the quotes to be particularly inspiring when I find myself lacking something in that particular topic area. When I want to work on my goals, I just flip to the chapter on “Goals,” and read through those quotes to help me focus my mind on developing appropriate goals for the day, week, month, or year.The questions to ponder appear at the end of each topic, and help bring all of the quotes together in a cohesive bundle. These questions are good for further reflection, and I’ll sometimes journal based on those questions to cement the ideas in my mind.This book would make an excellent addition to any library, and will definitely promote deep thinking and reflection.
