The great men of our nation took life and its challenges with seriousness and sincerity -but never somberly. Wit and humor were always evident in their tales and teachings. History has recorded this plethora of wisdom imparted with wit. Generation after generation has smiled and grown from the amusing stories and uplifting barbs of giants and simple folk. Shmuel Himelstein has again collected and adapted the wit and wisdom of the ages. Mine this veritable gold vein for the appropriate parable, smile-evoking story or charming anecdote, whether to spice up a speech, liven up your family gathering or just lighten a heavy mood or moment. Categorized to facilitate the raconteur or speaker, this book has an appropriate thought, and the vehicle to convey it, for almost any occasion. "Words of Wisdom, Words of Wit" offers cheer and joy-in heaping doses.
