From: http://www.thetao.info/english/index.htm "The Tao Te Ching (also called "The Tao", "The Dao" or the "Dao De Jing"), by Lao Tzu, is one of the most influential books in history. It is the source of famous Chinese sayings such as "Those who know do not speak, those who speak, do not know" and "Even a 1,000 mile journey starts with a single step". Even if the the philosophy is not your cup of (Chinese) tea, this is a great website.

There is a book in the Bible titled Proverbs that has much wise and practical advice. It is written by the wisest man who ever lived (excluding Jesus of course). Proverbs 1:7 "Only fools despise wisdom and discipline."

1-24-2017 Go to a library and find the "public speaking" section. There will likely be dozens of books with jokes, quotations, and thoughts specifically chosen as openers for speakers. Here's the trick: turn around and pull a book off another shelf and see what it is. You find the most fascinating stuff that way. I once found a thick report tracing the ancestry of the 12 inch ruler all the way back to the Egyptian pyramids.
