`the perfect quotes to sprinkle through your speeches' Sloan Management Review

`editor's of The Executive's Book of Quotations allow in a pleasantly wide range of categories, so their quotations do not stick to business, nor their sources to business people. Indeed many of the wittiest lines are by the non-executives from books and the screen'
Good Book Guide

From William Wrigley's advertising maxim `Tell them quick and tell them often,' to all-purpose words of wisdom such as E.F. Schumacher's `Think globally, act locally,' and Yogi Berra's `When you come to a fork in the road, take it,' the Dictionary of Business Quotations is a browser's delight, brimming with thousands of quotations for use in business speeches, reports, articles, or simply to spice conversation over lunch. Stretching from Chinese proverbs to John Maynard Keynes, from Heraclitus to Peters and Waterman, compiled from newspapers, books, movies, and poetry, this lively collection arranges more than 500 topics alphabetically, spiriting us from `Advertising,' `America,' and `Avarice,' through `Wall Street,' `Winners,' and `Youth.'

"Provides the perfect quotes to sprinkle through your speeches and [is] just fun to browse through....Focuses on business-related topics and many of the quotes are from executives like Lee Iacocca, David Ogilvy, and Masara Ibuka (although Casey Stengel seems to be the winner with twenty-five quotes."--Sloan Management Review "Meant for business speakers and writers, this book can also educate. A sampling: 'No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck' (Anonymous). 'All of life is the management of risk, not its elimination (Walter Wriston). 'The secret of managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided'" (Casey Stengel)
