Mrs. Flournoy's Collection of Quotes and Affirmations: Learning Life's Lessons provides a set of ingredients for making lemonade in a life sometimes filled with lemons. It is about using the philosophies of leaders throughout history who have succeeded in our imperfect world. It is also about learning to be proactive thinkers who are open to new ideas and schools of thought. This uplifting selection of quotes and affirmations seeks to find those committed to making the most of their time on earth, contributing positively to mankind by being ourselves, being generous with our talents and gifts, and being receptive to the idea of always giving the best of ourselves with love. You can quote Mrs. Flournoy on that! "I am inspired by quotes and affirmations, which make me believe others will be motivated by them as well," she says. D. L.
