Mrs. Brower's Sayings

By Lillian Brower

This book originated as a saying-of-the-day project for the chalkboard in her work, which is unique. None of the sayings have more than one sentence, and none are more than two lines long. These little gems have been categorized, alphabetized, and indexed for easy reference.

This book contains an abundance of material for teachers, preachers, and public speakers. Writers, journalists, counselors, or columnists might revel in having access to such an assemblage of adages, aphorisms, epigrams, wit, and a bit of nonsense.

This publication could be the source of such diverse marketable items as key rings, plaques, bulletins, newsletters, T-shirts, coffee cups, auto-license tags, and even fortune cookies.

Its most valuable use, though, would probably be to browse through for simple pleasure. The reader could use the contents to start his or her own saying-of-the-day list.
