One of the most effective ways to add punch and power to your speech and writing is to use quotations by influential people, like the ones featured in the Quotation Library. Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. President, said... "I not only use all the brains I have but all that I can borrow." Jim Rohn, one of the world's most respected success coaches and motivational speakers, says... "Don't be afraid to borrow if someone else has said it well. Winston Churchill said, 'The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.' That's so well said. You could stay up all night and not think of that." The American author and lawyer, Christian Nevell Bovee, observed this about quotations many decades ago... "Next to being witty yourself, the best thing is being able to quote another's wit." And, Isaac D'Israeli, the British historian, said... "The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation." The French philosopher and essayist, Michel Eyquem De Montaigne, said, in the sixteenth century, "I quote others in order to better express myself." The famous American essayist and poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, had this to say about quotations: "Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. Many will read the book before one thinks of quoting a passage. As soon as he has done this, that line will be quoted east and west." And, Henry W. Fowler, the British lexicographer, suggested... "Quotation... A writer [or speaker] expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read." If you've attended a seminar or read a motivational book recently, then you probably have noticed the speaker or author had used some quotations to emphasize certain points throughout their speech or book. This way, their message will have more impact on you, the audience, or the reader. What this means to you is, when you also use quotations in your speeches and writing...
Look, no matter what you want to write or say, it usually has already been written or said very effectively, convincingly, persuasively, or powerfully, by somebody else. In addition to helping you make your presentation or writing more successful... quotations will also help you generate new ideas. How many times have you sat at your desk, staring at a blank piece of paper or your computer monitor, trying to figure out the "perfect" line or sentence for your presentation, newsletter, or article? We don't know about you, before we started using quotations to generate ideas for our speech or article, sometimes, we would stare at a blank piece of paper for, believe it or not, hours, trying to come up with the "right" words. The great news was, after discovering the exciting world of quotations, by learning what some of the wisest men and women have said about a specific topic, now I'm able to generate great ideas very quickly. And you can do the same, too! For example, if you're giving a speech or writing about "forgiveness" then, one of the greatest quotations ever written or spoken on this topic was by Mark Twain, when he said... "Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." Wow! You probably agree with me this one sentence, alone, can summarize your whole presentation or article on "forgiveness," right? Listen, you and I could ponder for days and still may not be able to come up with a definition for forgiveness even half as powerful as Mark Twain's. As you may be aware, even many of today's best-selling authors and top speakers use quotations by other authors and speakers to make their points more concise and powerful. Since one of the main goals of your presentation or article is to get the audience or reader to take immediate action, whether it's to buy your product or to elect you for president of your company, and so on, you may be looking for ways to make your message more powerful, allowing you to... Using The Least Amount Of Effort!
In short, if you were to use great quotations in your book, newsletter, article, speech, or presentation, and so on, then you'll be able to get your point(s) across to your audience or readers more effectively, inspiring them to act right away and act with a high level of conviction. Unfortunately, the challenge was, before the birth of Your Ultimate Success Quotation Library, you would have to search through dozens of books and articles to find the "perfect" quotation(s) for your presentation, article, or newsletter.
