Overview
Words That Shaped Our World is a powerful collection of quotations that are significant not only for their message, but for who spoke or wrote them and the circumstances under which they were produced. Jim Stovall, a New York Times bestselling author whose books have been adapted into films, and Kathy Johnson, a highly regarded author and editor, share their insight on fifty quotations that transcend the time and place in which they were written and form a powerful part of the collective human experience. These are the quotations we live by, that shape our lives, and that inspire us to live a more meaningful life—quotations from:
- Presidents and politicians—such as Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill
- Novelists, poets, and playwrights—such as William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, George Bernard Shaw, and Maya Angelou
- Scientists, philosophers, and psychologists—such as Socrates, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, and Stephen Hawking
- Personal development experts—such as Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar, and Dr. Stephen Covey
- Finance and business leaders—such as Warren Buffett, Walt Disney, Ted Turner, and Mary Kay Ash
- Civil rights icons—such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela
- Humanitarians—such as Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, and Helen Keller
- Athletes and coaches—such as Mickey Mantle, John Wooden, Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, Vince Lombardi
- Artists, actors, and musicians—such as Salvador Dali, Katharine Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, and Willie Nelson
