Phillips' Book of Great Thoughts & Funny Sayings: A Stupendous Collection of Quotes, Quips, Epigrams, Witticisms, and Humorous Comments. For Personal Enjoyment and Ready Reference.

Great to keep around for a quick smile, and hundreds of topics that are easy to find and reference.

One of my friends offered me a copy of this book when I decided to jump into the quote business, and it was pretty funny. There are a lot of great quotes in here, and they are categorized by categories (rather than by author). The only reason that I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 is that he included many anonymous quotes, which I am not a big fan on...half the fun of repeating quotes is touting who said it. I still loved the book, and I think the other reviewers are being too hard on this one. It is pretty hard to find hundreds of funny quotes and have them all be hilarious, but this book has its moments and I enjoyed them!

Enjoy!

The seller sent this item promptly and it arrived in really good condition and highly protected. This book is one of my most favorite in my library and it's nice to know someone took the time to collect all these "gems of the English language." I have no problems with this seller and this product and would highly recommend both again to anyone who'd ask.

There seem to be a few good quotes sprinkled around, but a lot of them are unremarkable, cliche, or hackneyed humor.

In my opinion, this book is not funny! That is the main criteria for a "funny saying" from a humorous quote book.

Some "funny sayings" from the book in alphabetical order (being alphabetized I found helpful),

"Jesus Christ- if you [General Bertrand] do not perceive that Jesus Christ is God, very well; then I did wrong to make you a general. Napoleon Bonaparte"

"Jew- I determine who is Jew. Hermann Goering"

On the cover,
"I did not attend this funeral; but I wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it. Mark Twain"

"A candle lights others and consumes itself."

Had I read that this book wasn't funny I might have paused before I bought the book. Maybe I can offer someone else the time to read a bit more about this book, because we all know, "It is not good to wake a sleeping lion" (also from the cover).
