Reviews

"An impossibly charming compendium of 100 wise and timeless thoughts from some of history's greatest minds, hand-lettered by Lisa Congdon. The common thread underpinning these quotes--which include such beloved luminaries as Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Henry James, Anne Lamott, Soren Kierkegaard, and Leo Tolstoy--is Congdon's own sensibility about what it means to live with kindness and integrity, to cherish beauty and the creative spirit, and ultimately to be a good human being." --Brain Pickings
"Just right for a pick-me-up." --Fitness
"Taking its title from a famous Abraham Lincoln quote, this beautifully hand-lettered book shares 100 inspirational quotations from great minds such as Oscar Wilde, George Eliot, and Walt Whitman. Revisit this colorful read whenever you need a pick-me-up--or a push--to get out there and make the most of your day." --Real Simple.com
