Dance First. Think Later by Kathryn and Ross Petras is a treasure trove of motivational and thought-provoking quotes that inspire the reader to live a richer, more meaningful life. This exceptional collection encapsulates the wisdom of an eclectic mix of historical icons, contemporary figures, and brilliant minds from various walks of life.

Timeless in their wisdom, thought-provoking in their message, surprising in their truth, and memorable in their originality, the right words can provide direction, inspiration, and sometimes a tangible boost onto the right path. For instance, Steve Jobs once read "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." on the back cover of The Whole Earth Catalog, and those four words came to guide his life. Similarly, the quotes in Dance First. Think Later serve as guideposts for living a life filled with intention and purpose.

Created by Kathryn and Ross Petras, connoisseurs of quotes, whose books and calendars have over 56 million copies in print, Dance First. Think Later is a meticulously curated compilation of the greatest life wisdom from an unexpected group of speakers, doers, and thinkers. Each quote is carefully chosen for its ability to challenge the reader’s perception and spark a deeper reflection on life's core principles.

There are 618 rules to live by - funny, sly, declarative, thoughtful, offhanded, clever, and always profound:

"Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places." - Roald Dahl

"If everything is under control, you are going too slow." - Mario Andretti

"Never make a credit decision on a beach." - Victor J. Boschini

"Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order." - Samuel Beckett

"The only time to eat diet food is while waiting for the steak to cook." - Julia Child

"What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway." - Mother Teresa

"Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde

From practical advice and light-hearted quips to profound reflections, Dance First. Think Later serves as an inspirational companion that encourages readers to embrace the beauty of spontaneity, the value of authenticity, and the power of resilience. This remarkable compilation is the perfect gift for anyone seeking a daily dose of inspiration or a fresh perspective on life's enduring truths.
