Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases is a practical handbook to oratorical success written by the American author and Greenville Kleiser, who has been credited for writing many inspirational books on personal development.  Notable among his long list of writings include How to Speak in Public, Humorous Hits and How to Hold an Audience, The World's Great Sermons, and How to Argue and Win.

The author mentions in his introductory note that:

"All persons should avoid using words whose meanings they do not know, and with the correct application of which they are unfamiliar. The best spoken and the best written English is that which conforms to the language as used by men and women of culture—a high standard, it is true, but one not so high that it is unattainable by any earnest student of the English tongue."
