Description: "Quotable Men of the Twentieth Century showcases the famous words of famous men, as well as the poignant and memorable quotes of others - men whose particular blends of wit and wisdom have articulated what it's like to live during the twentieth century and given us guidance for entrance into the next millennium."--BOOK JACKET.

"This unique collection of quips, insights, and observations offers inspiration and advice on an extraordinary range of subjects, including language, career, appearance, education, and happiness."--BOOK JACKET.

"From Michael Jordan on achievement to Pablo Picasso on art, from Donald Trump on failure to Jerry Seinfeld on humor, the quotable men represented in this book are politicians, writers, artists, and musicians, as well as athletes and scientists, comedians and movie stars. Here are remarks by Martin Luther King, Jr., on race, Alfred Adler on human nature; Spike Lee on film, and Bill Clinton on drugs."--BOOK JACKET.
