ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 17, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Essayist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it." Semie Lechebo's newest book, "The Book of the Best Selected Quotes for Every Occasion," progressed in a similar fashion; it originated as a mere collection of witty phrases, evolved into a manuscript and is now available through 1stBooks.
Lechebo's volume joins many other compilations; however, his book features quotations that primarily focus on and stem from success. With these powerful, inspirational passages, Lechebo hopes to motivate readers to chase their dreams. Less than 100 pages long, the book is also helpful as a quick reference for teachers, business owners, politicians or motivational speakers.
In selecting passages, the author drew from a variety of cultures and searched through the infinite pool of wise quotations for those tailored to his topic of success. The result is an inspiring mixture of expressions that are "solid, time-tested, accepted, and valued by societies."
Lechebo quotes over 200 individuals, whose collective insights yield a mix of greatness and fallibility - a winning combination that shows readers the facets of success through a variety of sources. From Napoleon to Helen Keller, Mark Twain to Eleanor Roosevelt, Woody Allen to Sophocles, the variety of noteworthy characters---poets, politicians, authors, philosophers and actors---provides a diverse blend of optimism and empowerment suitable for any occasion.
A first-rate supplement to any library, The Book of the Best Selected Quotes offers readers the gift of eloquence in a concise edition of notable quotes.
An accomplished poet and author, Lechebo also published You Can Be the Boss: Business Start-UP Kit through 1stBooks. He has won several awards for his poetic works and wrote lyrics for HillTop Records in Los Angeles. Lechebo has also consulted, lectured and held seminars in education institutions and community organizations both in the United States and abroad. He currently resides in New York.
