Every speaker, writer, executive or manager sometimes badly needs just the right quote for just the right moment to make just the right point. Bud Carter's discerning taste and his reporter's natural ear for the great sound bite, he had the foresight to develop the habit of capturing the, often spontaneously, statements of fact, wisdom, humor or inspiration of so many of this world's best speakers. Bud's past editions are never far from my writing desk."
