t a time in our nation when uncertainty is high and confidence is low, keen insight and sound advice are invaluable. “Snappy Sayings: Wit & Wisdom from the World’s Greatest Minds” by Bradford Wheler delivers words of wisdom that despite the date of their origin still remain relevant and useful to today’s readers. From Anton Chekhov on the arts to Woody Allen on sex, no topic is left unturned. In these words, ripened by time, readers find great insight into historic moments, incontrovertible knowledge, roadmaps to live by and the potential for greater understanding and appreciation of our most personal experiences and journeys.
"Bradford Wheler’s SNAPPY SAYINGS is a useful treasure trove of entertaining and insightful quotations drawn from an extraordinarily wide range of history’s most notable thinkers and personalities,” said Dr. Mark J. Tierno, president of Cazenovia College. “I recommend Mr. Wheler’s volume to public speakers who often need witty sayings for their speeches and to anyone who just wants a really good laugh.” What began as file boxes filled with quotes on index cards that could be referenced for use in a speech or toast, later evolved into a comprehensive volume of treasured adages from respected public figures that relate to our joys, fears, hopes and life experiences. “Snappy Sayings” is an inspired collection of poignant quotes that resonate with readers of all ages and speak to who we are at our very core.
Through the words of more than 350 of history’s most prolific public figures, the human condition is examined and human nature is revealed. Each of the book’s 22 chapters cover some of the most highly-discussed and debated subjects, including love, women, death, money and sports. In his foreword, Jay Walker, founder of Priceline.com describes the collection as a “book to be tasted or sipped, much like one might pour oneself a small after-dinner drink… select and savor just the right one, and a meal becomes a memory.
” It’s a delightful coffee table book, ideal for readers who enjoy humor, human nature and history. It’s also a must-have volume of historic and contemporary proverbs for anyone in search of a mantra, motto, or a piece of advice. The public figures featured in the book range from history’s most lovable to the most notorious, including Ernest Hemingway, Sigmund Freud, Jay Leno, Bob Saget, and Adolf Hitler. Biographies of each figure quoted are available in the appendix, and the quotes in the collection are accompanied by a variety of photos and illustrations for the readers’ enjoyment. “Snappy Sayings” is the first book published by BookCollaborative.com, a collaborative community of progressive artists and arts advocates. The book is available at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and bookstores throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
