Incredible Literature

This is the most quality literature I have ever read. The collection of quotes is superb, and very true. Below are a few sample quotes from the book. Remember Mama saying these to you?*Thirty-seven chews to a bite!*If you don't eat your okra, you won't catch any fish.*Clean your glasses- you can't be an optimistic with a misty optic.*Always wear a coat and tie when you go on an airplane.*Horses sweat, men perspire, ladies glow.*When in doubt, write a thank you note.Not only are there brilliant quotes like these (there are so many!), but mothers of our favorite actors, politicians, athletes, scientists, and authors, like Gertrude Stein, Joe DiMaggio, Liz Taylor, Thomas Alva Edison, and Ernest Hemingway.Truly, Momilies has such great reading content for everyone to enjoy.
