1,001 Smiles -- Chockful of wit and wisdom, 1,001 Smiles is a colorfully illustrated compendium of all things happy. In this chunky anthology, the latest in our popular series, wry insights, age-old teachings, and a wealth of humorous offerings are organized by everyday topics such as creativity, change, love, and travel. Readers will find themselves smiling at both the absurdities of the world and their own foibles as simple truths are expressed in quirky ways, such as "There are only two lasting gifts you can give your children: One is roots, the other wings," or "If you have to borrow money, borrow it from a pessimist—they never expect it back." An ideal gift for anyone feeling blue, 1,001 Smiles is sure to elicit a grin, even on the toughest day.
