About this title

Synopsis

Wonderful words that add wit and class to every time you raise your glass.

Sample toasts:

Friends & Friendship: To our best friends, who know the worst about us but refuse to believe it.

Generosity: Life 'em high and drain 'em dry to the guy who says, "My turn to buy!"

Golf: To golf, the most frustrating and masochistic sport in the world, which may be why golf spelled backward in flog.

Happiness: May we be happy and our enemies know it.

Gambling: Life consists not in holding good cards, but playing those you hold well.

Politics & Politicians: To Washington, our country's capital, where the roads, and everything else, go around in circles.
