Instant Vacation Humorous Quotes On Life

Introduction I

love this book! Laughter is one of the simple joys of life. Therefore, I thought it made a lot of sense for Simple Truths to publish a book that’s guaranteed to make you laugh. So I challenged some members of our team to look for their favorite humorous quotes on life. And I’m pleased to say they definitely rose to the occasion.

Laughter is to the soul what soap is to the body. It is sunshine in any life, and as our title indicates… it is an “instant vacation!”

So sit back and enjoy an unexpected getaway with a shot of inspiration!

Live with Passion,

Mac Anderson Founder, Simple Truths
