The Quotable Investor

. Lyons Press, $20 (260pp) ISBN 978-1-58574-278-3

With quotations that range from the profound to the ridiculous, The Quotable Investor mixes wisdom from such financial figures as Alan Greenspan and J.P. Morgan with the witticisms of Jane Austen and John Lennon. Edited by former Wall Street Journal senior writer Sanford Jacobs and featuring a foreword by the former Fed chairman and undersecretary of the treasury, Paul Volcker, this little book offers opportunity for amusement and reflection, and an opening line the next time a reader has to give a business speech.
