Things My Daddy Used To Say is a book of aphorisms, adages, and fatherly advice. The fifty-seven categories, from admiration to worry, offer such gems of wisdom as "One fact is worth a million opinions," or "A good woman can bring out the best in a man – even when it ain't there," or "Everybody is self educated, but some folks got a late start 'cause they had to go to college first," or one of my favorites, "No man is an island, but I have met a few that were atolls." The wealth of pithy comments and observations on life contained in this book make it worthy of a place on your bookshelf right next to your Bartlett's.
