And I Quote is a remarkable compilation and indispensable reference book that proves a quote doesn't have to be ancient to be classic. From the time-honored to the newly minted, these are wise and witty words that can be used for any occasion, from sales training seminars ("When you've stopped talking, you've lost your customer."---Estee Lauder) to awards dinners ("I don't deserve this, but then I've got arthritis, and I don't deserve that either."---Jack Benny).
This new edition is totally revised and updated - sections that are relevant to current popular culture and industry (e.g. technology, politics, health care, international relations, etc.) are expanded.
Arranged in a unique and simple format, And I Quote will prove to be one book no successful writer or speechmaker will want to do without. "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there," said Will Rogers---And I Quote will keep you moving in the right direction.
