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...!
