Would you fancy an intellectual vitamin mix that inspires and motivates you to greatness? Much has changed in the past decades. Genuine wisdom, though, has not. Because it never does. The quotes featured in this book are not your typical quotes. My aim through this book is to offer you the best bits of the best minds. Most of us lead busy, stressful lives that leave little space for daily introspection. I believe there is a quote for every situation or challenge life throws at us. Most of the statements you will find here are the distillation of the experience of a lifetime. Thousands of quotes were evaluated and arranged by subject based on their relevance, originality, motivational power, and depth of meaning. Language shapes behavior. Through your reading you will notice that certain quotes are a call to action while others an opportunity for contemplation. Throughout human history, great leaders have used the power of words to transform our emotions, to engage us in their causes, and to shape the course of History. Power Quotes span from Antiquity to the 21st century. These statements were thought, spoken, and written by people as unrelated as Alexander the Great, Confucius, Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, Dalai Lama, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Einstein, Oscar Wilde, Bill Gates, or Mother Teresa. The book is divided into three main sections. Each section is introduced by personal thoughts and theories on Life, Business, and Leadership. Theories I live and swear by. Theories that I have developed over the course of many years rich in life, study, travel, and business experience. Power Quotes have been a great source of inspiration for me and have helped change and shape my personal and professional life for the better. It is my hope that they will have a similar impact on yours.
