Not that this is always a virtue. Fleas are interested in dog. -P.J. O' Rourke Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character give him power. -Abraham Lincoln Snappy Sayings contains a foreword from Jay Walker, the founder of Priceline.com and Walker Digital, who describes the collection as “a book to be tasted or sipped, much like one might pour oneself a small after-dinner drink from a bar stocked with hundreds of exotic liqueurs.” Dr. Mark J. Tierno, President of Cazenovia College comments on the book, "Bradford Wheler's Snappy Sayings is a useful treasure trove of entertaining and insightful quotations drawn from an extraordinarily wide range of history's most notable thinkers and personalities.
