    About this ebook

    Never, have the ideas and insights of the most profound people of years gone by and people of our time been put into one book. This compilation contains some of the most touching thoughts from great men and women. This book can be used as a life manual for it contains information covering all areas of life, be it health, spiritual, mental, physical and financial. Make this book a constant companion wherever you are and let it be your manual where you can fish out an inspiring quote when you have any issue exciting or troubling you. When a rainy afternoon sends your spirits plunging down, perhaps you can find a recipe in this book for dispelling the gloom. Read it the way you like: you can start from the middle, or from the end, or from the beginning – the concentration is the same. High concentration.
    It has to be appreciated that there are other many great quotes from great and ordinary people. This publication can only contain five hundred great quotes and its not exhaustive.

    The quotes in this book are very inspirational in all major aspects of your life; be it social, spiritual, business and many other ways. However the general number of quotes are business linked. To further spicy up the book I added a bonus of fifty rib-cracking jokes for your pleasure, as a bonus. Since this is a five hundred ton load of jokes, I will give you a ‘laughing break’ break after every ten ton load of quotes. This is the true meaning of mixing business with pleasure.

    This is the only book of its kind – it mixes business with humor. You get fifty extremely humorous jokes.

      Introduction

      This masterpiece is a compilation of 500 of the greatest quotes ever made. The quotes are from people who are no longer with us and some still living. Some of the quotes are centuries old and some were made as recent as year 2014. You will need this book as a constant companion for it contains quotes which suites your every mood and it can greatly lift up your spirits when the chips are down. In this very serious and empowering book, I have decided to do something unique – I added 50 rib cracking jokes as a bonus. After every 10 quotes, I will give you a ‘laughing break’ but dropping a smart joke.

      Enjoy.
