PREFACE

Collecting wise and witty quotes has been an absorbing passionof mine for several years. My first compilation work was brought outin the form of a book entitled ‘5000 Inspiring Quotations’, publishedin December 2005. Its overwhelming response (received from youngreaders) did encourage me to work out the second book, incorporatingtherein some more beautiful thoughts, gleaned from the writings andteachings of the world’s great minds.

Keeping in view the growing taste of readers, especially theyoung students, I have included in this book many new topics andnew collection of inspiring thoughts of modern and contemporarythinkers and writers—both famous and infamous, but thoughtfulwriters.

Quotations are arranged subject-wise and the subjects—as manyas 460—are arranged alphabetically. The subject index given in thebeginning directs the readers to specific topics with the page number.In addition, at the end of the book, there is a complete index of about900 authors quoted, that provides brief individual biographicalinformation as well as the author’s quotation number(s).

My hope is that the book ‘2828 Inspiring Quotations andProverbs’ will enlighten, educate, entertain and encourage personalgrowth of our students.

Remember, quotations are enjoyed not merely for our pleasure’ssake, but can be used to add sparkle to your articles, essays, books,speeches, or even everyday talks, as Samuel Johnson has said :

“Every quotation contributes something to the stability orenlargement of the language.”

In the end, a special word of sincere thanks to my dear niece,Priyanka Choudhry, for general assistance with proof-reading she hasrendered to me with best wishes.50, Devi PathTakhte Shahi Road,Jaipur —Radharaman Agarwal
