The book is full of creative quotes and messages for all occasions: weddings, babies, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, sympathy, retirement, get well, bon voyage, apologies ... if you have ever been stuck for just the right thing to write inside a greeting card, then help is at hand.
Here is a random selection of a few quotes and phrases from my initial skim of the book:

What a wonderful gift. I love books like this. I have tons of them, and yes, I start my morning off by reading quotes. Collecting and reading quotes is one of my passions. So, whether you are at a loss for words or not, sometimes reading a quote from another is just the thing that makes that little light bulb go off in your head.....that awe inspiring moment that motivates you to reach higher.
That is a really cool gift!
I Love I and could use a copy for myself. My friend just recently used my words as a quote... She is going through another loss in her family, first her sister then a grandfather, now again the second grandfather each about 6 months apart (so yes less than a year).
My words to her were "God sure wants you super hero strong".
I happen to love Hans Christian from your selection.
I keep a Word documents for copying quotes I like, and now I am on page 52. Here is the last quote I copied, from Oscar Wilde: "Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.”
