Note from John P. Strelecky

Hi,

You have in front of you the 1001 Inspirational Quotes Book .

There are over one thousand, one hundred and fifty quotes in here. All are searchable

either by specific words, or by the person who said the quote.

For example if you want to find just the quotes with the word “heart”, you can go up to

the menu options and select Edit, and then select Search. On the right hand side of the

screen a window will appear where you can type in the word heart. Once you hit the

search button, all the locations with the word heart will be found, and links to them will

appear in the little window. Just click on the link, and it takes you right to the spot in the

book where heart appears.

Super easy to use, and super useful.

As a writer of inspirational books, I use quotes quite a bit, and I found myself spending

hours searching through website after website to find what I wanted. Compiling this

book was my solution.

It sounded easy, and then ended up taking WAY more time than I thought.

Nonetheless, it has saved me many, many hours since then, and I know it will do the

same for you. This way all the quotes are in one spot, they are searchable, and you don’t

need to be connected to the web to access them.

Enjoy!

John

“...character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion...”

Aristotle

“...leaders are people who are able to express themselves fully...they know who they are,what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how to fully deploy their strengths and

compensate for their weaknesses. They also know what they want, why they want it, and

how to communicate what they want to others, in order to gain compensation and

support. Finally, they know how to achieve their goals. The key to full self-expression is

understanding one's self and the world, and the key to understanding is learning--from

one's own life and experience.”

Warren Bennis

“...leadership is power to endure an ongoing quest for information or influence...not just

actual triumphs like making profits or achieving stated objectives.”

Harvey Mackay

“...power is not really good or bad; it is neutral. Power itself is not negative or positive,

although our feelings about it may be. Power is the potential to influence others for good

or evil, to be a blessing or a scourge. Like nuclear energy, it can provide the electricity to

light a city, or it can fuel the bomb that destroys it.”

Blaine Lee

“...the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we

esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.”

“...until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the

choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise." “

Stephen Covey

“...we come to beginnings only at the end. “

“A bold onset is half the battle.”

Then, when you get into the situation, it isn't foreign. It doesn't scare you. “

“But inaction itself is a kind of action, and it has consequences. Consistently and

absolutely maintained, inaction would necessarily lead to swift ruin; it would be a form

of suicide. A refusal to enter into the world is a refusal to meet the challenge of reality

which darkly demands that I dare and find out what will happen. In my situation I bear

responsibility for what occurs because I do not intervene; if I can do something and I

don't do it, I am guilty of the consequences of my inaction.”

Karl Jaspers

“But we cannot avoid conflict, conflict with society, other individuals and with oneself.

Conflicts may be the sources of defeat, lost life and a limitation of our potentiality but

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything

simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply

because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on

the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have

been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you

find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and

all, then accept it and live up to it.”

will miss aspects of your former life. It doesn't matter. The trick is to know in advance of

challenge, make the change, and achieve your dream. “

Harvey Mackay
