In this far-ranging collection of aphorisms, adages, and verse, well-known humorist Harry Wayne Addison comments wisely and wittily on a wide variety of topics, from the lessons and joys of a rural upbringing to the heavy-handed whims of big government. Acclaimed as the Will Rogers of Ouachita Parish, Addison offers here a wealth of wisdom and insight into the problems and pleasures that marked the daily path of twentieth-century man. Inspirational, compassionate, homespun, and down-to-earth, Addison's unique philosophy draws abundantly from his faith in mankind, his commitment to his fellow man, and his steadfast belief in a benevolent God. This volume will have special appeal to all who treasure age-old values and find worth in an uncommonly common-sense approach to modern life.
