Title: Spice Up Your Speechifying With Light-Hearted Quotations
Author: Rajjan ShinghalPublisher: zorbabooks
As the name suggests, this book is a collection of light-hearted quotations. Quotations play an important role in life, and can be used to enrich our speeches. Also, to apply in life to get peace of mind.
You may wonder how light-hearted quotations are different from quotations. The explanation is given in the book like below.
"Light-hearted quotations often go against received wisdom, They are based on scepticism, they cover puns and play on words, or they turn around serious quotations"
Best part about this book is every quotation is provided with the name and pseudonym of the author of the quotation, also relevant details.
If you are searching for a collection of quotes, this book is an excellent option. IT is a useful book to flip through whenever you feel like reading a quote.
Some of the quotes are:
"Both marriages were failures, Number one departed, and number two stayed." Gustav Mahler(1860-1911), Astrian musician
"Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children, but no theories" - John Wilmot
"If an Englishman gets run down by a truck, he apologises to the truck" - Jackie Mason, American comedian.
"If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there' - Lewis Carrol
"You respond to every question, but you do not necessarily answer it"
I liked the background given for the quote if they are having any.
This is the first time that I had seen the review for a book which is compiled with quotes. Something I discover here!
