A word to steady your heart. The words of visionary thinkers give dreams, wisdom, and courage to people who struggle with how to live well, and serve as “light and salt” in their lives. Many people recognized for having lived or living successful lives have found hope in a visionary's teaching at the depths of despair, then done their best again and guided their lives toward success. This book brings together memorable sayings, anecdotes, ideas, and philosophies from people regarded as great and successful across eras, cultures, and fields: Warren Buffett, revered by young people as one of this era's greatest mentors; acclaimed director Steven Spielberg; great writers Tolstoy, Shakespeare, and Hemingway; Beethoven, whose music has continued to move people through the years; thinkers Tagore and Confucius; and outstanding politicians Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, among others. Each of us is the lead character in our own life. If I were not the lead, I would not need to care how my life unfolds. But remember: I am the one who decides how to shape this precious life, which comes only once, and who makes the decisions at each moment of choice. The words of these visionaries in this book will become sparkling stars in your life. Read it, fulfill your dreams, and become the successful lead character in your own story. Act, dream, and believe! To accomplish something great, you must act as well as dream, and plan as well as believe. Steven Spielberg said, “I don't dream only at night; I dream all day long.”

Reading and copying one quotation a day calms my mind and lets me reflect on its lesson once more, making it a good daily routine. I also like that the person who compiled the book adds their own comments.

As the title says, this is a collection of quotations. I do not think many people usually read quote books, but people who enjoy copying passages as a hobby may like a collection that is easy and effortless to write out. The quotations are organized into ten categories, and each one comes with a suitable explanation, an introduction to the person who said it, or background and history from the time it appeared. So the book is not just a list of sayings; it can also serve as a brief reference
