Description

"A verbal agreement isn't worth the paper it's printed on," said movie mogul Sam Goldwyn. But this wise and funny book is worth its weight in gold. It gives you a hundred sparkling nuggets of wit, wisdom, and home truth, mined from a wealth of different sources by poet-philosopher-writer Noah benShea. GREAT JEWISH QUOTES imparts the wisdom of folk sayings, the Talmud, and the Old Testament, side by side with the sagacity and smarts of famous men and women from our own century -- Albert Einstein, Golda Meir, Woody Allen, and dozens more. These insightful and quotable short takes may just make it possible for you to fix what's fixable in your life . . . and give you a chance to laugh about the rest.
