Peter's Quotations: Ideas for Our Times

From the author of the multimillion-selling The Peter Principle, a timeless collection of some of history's greatest and best-expressed thoughts. Organized alphabetically by subject—from Ability to Zoos—and completely cross-referenced by related categories, Peter's Quotations is a joy to use. Packed with many unusual and little-known quotations of great wit, Dr. Peter's reference book is not only fun to read—an idea mine for writers, students, and public speakers—but it is also relevant to the sometimes overwhelming problems of today. Peter's Quotations is priceless. "Who else would offer us quotations all the way from Samuel Johnson and Thoreau to Tommy Smothers; from Bernard Shaw to Polly Adler. The compilation is as original as Dr. Peter himself." —Norman Lear "Dr. Laurence Peter, to use a baseball term, is the perfect designated hitter with his wit and wisdom—a quote for every situation." —Joe Garagiola
