Blessings, and Graces
Toasts:
Over 1500 of the Best Toasts, Sentiments,
Blessings, and GracesThis
is a book that will be helpful to anyone who
ever expects to be called on to give a toast.
It begins with a brief introductory history
of toasts and toasting, pointing out that
the custom of drinking to the health and prosperity
of another is an ancient one. The book is
arranged by broad topics from age ("May
you enter Heaven late") to weddings ("May
you grow old on one pillow") to friendship
("Here's to a friend. He knows you well
and likes you just the same."). Some
of the quotes are from literature or famous
people, but there are many old anonymous ones,
too. Sections on effective toasting, odd customs,
and the like are also included. Libraries
needing to expand their quotations collections
might want to buy this volume.! This is a
perfect gift...!
