Memorable Thoughts of Famous Men and Women of the 20th Century.

"Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country."  These familiar words by President John F. Kennedy are characteristic of the words you will find in this new Hallmark Edition.  They are profound words, and they hold much meaning for us in the world of today.  Great Words of Our Time is a unique collection of words spoken by men and women of many countries and many persuasions.  But all these speakers have one thing in common -- a modern, provocative, and often witty perspective on human life.

Not only from the ancients have great words come:  the 20th century has known its share of wisdom and philosophic humor.  Ours has been an age of unusually articulate men and women.  Great Words of Our Time brings together some of the best and the wittiest of they have said.  It is a book that entertains as it informs, a book for men and women alike.

"Happiness is not a goal," says Eleanor Roosevelt, "it is a byproduct."  And in the eloquent words of Albert Schweitzer, "Truth has no special time of its own.  Its hour is now -- always."  Walter Lippmann comments profoundly that "To understand is not only to pardon, but in the end to love/"  And Franz Kafka adds with poetic insight, "Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old."

For inspiration, for thought, for entertainment, for remembering the swift modern years, Great Words of Our Time is an outstanding book.  Rarely does one volume define an era as this one does.  It is a book to treasure and to share.
