Book Overview
Former Secretary of Transportation, former Secretary of Labor, President of the American Red Cross, wife of co-campaigner Republican presidential nominee and icon Bob Dole, co-campaigner presidential candidate in her own right, and now a Senator from North Carolina, Elizabeth Dole has led a remarkably accomplished life in her climb to being one of the two most influential women in American politics. Her reputation as an effective and inspiring public speaker is not incidental to those accomplishments. In Hearts Touched By Fire, Dole recounts her inexperienced beginnings while running for student office at Duke University, and how understanding the importance of being able to communicate what she had to say ultimately helped to take her and others on her journey. In addition to her own development as a speaker, related with candor and insight, Dole presents 500 of the most time-honored, beloved, and, ultimately inspiring quotations--some of which were said to her personally--that she uses in her role as a leader, legislator and orator. Hearts Touched By Fire is a wonderful collection not only for those interested in public speaking but for anyone who is simply in need of empowering and uplifting words of wisdom.

Making a Point, That's Already Been Made...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
How often do you want to use just the right words to get a point across? Using a well-placed quote from a famous name often does just that. Why re-invent the wheel - when you can just borrow a well crafted phrase from a Forefather or two? And I agree with the previous review... this book is for everyone!
Inspiring Quotations from Historical People
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Great reading! I first took it home from the library. Then, after reading most of it, I felt I wanted my own copy. A nice book for the side of your bed or for reference in making a speech. There are 19 topics from Faith to Business, Family to Leadership, Character to Courage. No partisanship or politics here (I'm a liberal) . Easy to read. These are uplifting words of wisdom.
