Words of Wisdom on Private and Public Life by John, Robert, and Edward Kennedy
Those who makes peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.—John F Kennedy
The Kennedy legacy is enormous and vital, and the American fascination with the family on a personal and political level has long endured. This book offers a carefully honed selection of includes first-person quotations, excerpts from letters, interviews, and speeches by John, Robert, and Edward Kennedy. Divided into two parts, “Public Lives and Everyday Values” and “Private Lives and Family,” the book includes anecdotes and observations on the three brothers by other family members, such as Joseph Sr. and Rose. Three eight-page inserts reveal images of the brothers--alone and together--from their youth to their final days.
Set Your Compass True is a celebration of the Kennedy contribution to the quality of American life legacy. “Public Lives and Everyday Values: is a sharing of inspiring and uplifting thoughts on the American spirit, public service, duty, finding commons ground, the presidency, and leadership as well as everyday values that bring significance to our individual lives and our communities such as going after your dreams, risk taking, courage, truth, making a difference, setting goals, teamwork, helping others, and change. “Private Lives and Family” provides perspective on life experiences, as it explores finding a purpose in life and strength in difficult times, overcoming obstacles, personal fulfillment, owning up to mistakes, love, friendship, grief, and forgiveness. The family section ponders family life, from growing up Irish and musing on family pets to thoughts on marriage, raising children, and family values.
This charming, pocket-sized book captures the wit, wisdom, and distinct personality of each of these dynamic leaders. It is at once an homage to the Kennedys and a book of timeless inspirational guidance.

De la contraportada
With the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, a significant chapter in American history will come to a close. The Kennedy legacy is enormous and vital, and the American fascination with the family on a personal and political level has long endured. Images of Camelot, the Kennedy family on the beach in Hyannisport, Bobby Kennedy campaigning for the presidency with his ever-present dog Freckles and the sad passing of his funeral train that drew thousands, Teddy Kennedy's place on Capitol Hill as a champion of health care and family patriarch with its joys (giving Caroline away on her wedding day) and sorrows (bearing the metal coffin with the remains of John F. Kennedy, Jr. back to Woods Hole after his fatal 1999 plane crash)--these pictures are embedded in the American psyche. Americans can identify with the Kennedy family on a personal level: while their losses and sorrows have been enormous, their achievements have been enormous, their verve, intense and heartfelt.
This book celebrates that legacy. Inspiring and uplifting, and organized thematically by subjects such as truth, determination, discipline, listening to your inner voice, and other relevant topics. It captures the wit, wisdom, and distinct personality of each of these dynamic leaders. It is at once an homage to the Kennedys and a book of inspirational guidance.
The content includes first-person quotations, excerpts from letters, interviews, and speeches by each man. It also includes anecdotes and observations on the three brothers by other family members, such as Joseph Sr. and Rose. Three eight-page inserts reveal images of the brothers--alone and together--from their youth to their final days.
The book is structured as a must-have memento: beautifully designed, it makes a great gift, particularly with its selection of carefully chosen pictures. With its diverse editorial content, it will appeal to those with an interest in history and politics as well as to those with a more pop-culture interest in the Kennedy aura. With its compelling stories, passionate views on life and overcoming difficulty, it captures the essence of each man's personality, and provides solace and inspiration for the reader, which will appeal to the self-help audience.

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
