Customer Reviews

it's a treasure!

Witty Words from wise Women, by B.J. Gallagher, is a treasure that women will want to buy for all their girlfriends-and themselves. The book's 13 sections target topics such as:o men ("The cock may crow, but it's the hen that lays the eggs." Margaret Thatcher)o love and marriage ("Men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage-they've experienced pain and bought jewelry." Rita Rudner)o struggle and disappointment ("The hardest years in life are those between 10 and 70." Helen Hayes, spoken when she was 82) o success ("They say getting thin is the best revenge. Success is much better." Oprah Winfrey)o empowerment "(I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay." Madonna)But some of the brightest diamonds in this slim book are the insightful, perceptive and witty words introducing each of the sections. Those are the words of its author--B.J. Gallagher.

A Book With Heart

I have found the candidness in this wonderful book refreshing! I now know what to keep on hand, and mail at random to my friends and associates that need a good laugh, a subtle smile and something to relate to! Thank you for keeping us smiling B.J.!

A great book and a great gift...inspiring and funny

This is a book that thoroughly enjoyed, and I want all my friends to enjoy it too. I keep finding reasons to give it to people. It is a very enjoyable read, plus it is beautifully presented. There are so many great quotes in it, many that I had never heard before. After reading it through, I have it on my desk, and I just keep picking it up, flipping through , reading a page, and laughing out loud. Very handy for those mid-afternoon lulls, when you need a little inspirational or humor pick-me-up. I highly recommend it!

Oprah would LOVE this book!

This is the most fun, wise and enjoyable break during the day I have found in ages. It's small and packed with inspiration and so easy just to flip open anywhere for a giggle or a thought provoking moment. I have taken it on business and pleasure trips and shared it with associates, friends and strangers. Even my husband loves it. It has become my new perfect gift for my mom, sister and all my girl friends. I absolutely love it.
