At long last, an encyclopedic collection of quotations from powerful people and those who understand the power of the spoken word.
According to author Richard Pound, dynamic, influential people (and even those who think they are, or wish they were) have a language, at times, of their very own.
It's the language of presidents and prime ministers - those carefully crafted or off-the-cuff remarks that send reporters into fits of scribbling, and flood the airwaves with the sound bites" that ring in our ears long after the words have been spoken.
It's the language of the people at the top, the CEOs, and VIPs who make (or sometimes think they make) the world go around - aggressive, high impact volleys of words and very often laugh-aloud wit that demonstrate the power of language in the world around us.
It's also the language of ordinary people who say what they mean and mean what they say - words, phrases, sentences that we wish we'd said, and will use on occasion when the time is right (with or without credit) for years to come.
A life-long collector with a keen eye for the pith and power of the spoken word, Richard Pound has assembled a collection of high impact quotations guaranteed to entertain and educate...
- "There are no penalties for over-achievement." (George Miller)
- "All my life I wanted to be somebody. Now I realize I should have been more specific." (Lily Tomlin)
- "A fellow who is always declaring he is no fool usually has his suspicions." (Wilson Metzner)
- "Adulation is all right if you don't inhale." (Adlai Stevenson)
- "You don't make sheep any fatter by weighing them." (Scottish Proverb)
- "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again. Then use a stunt double." (Arnold Schwarzenegger)
- "When it is not necessary to make a decision, it is necessary not to make a decision." (Lord Falkland)

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
