`Smile Quotes' is a great, happy little book that reminds you of the best things in life.  Quotes are always an easy way to inspire or brighten one's day, and this little gem is perfect for just that.  I was drawn in by the title and cute clown on the cover, and I really needed something to perk up my mood on these long, dark winter days.  This short book of quotes offers uplifting and even humorous quotes from various sources and is meant to be either picked up when you need a boost or memorized so you can always have the best, most inspirational quotes on hand for any situation.I definitely couldn't memorize too many of these quotes, but it was fun to read through and it put a smile on my face while reading it.  I know it may seem simplistic to just tell people to smile and expect the quotes to accomplish that, but in reality we spend so much time with stress and sadness that we almost forget how to smile.  Everywhere you look there is something to be unhappy about, and this short book aims to change that.I read the book of quotes with a smile on my face pretty much the whole time, and it was a refreshing break from the dreariness of the winter weather and the stress of dealing with the holidays.  I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick mental and emotional pick me up during busy, hectic times, or whenever you are feeling a little down and need a little boost.  I especially like the quotes related to marriage.  I often struggle with stress and depression about my relationship with my husband, and these little quotes help keep me feeling a little lighter about the whole thing.Mr. Williams has an easy to read style of writing that makes him easy to like.  The book itself is not too long, but with a quote book you really don't need hundreds of pages of text, just a few really good ones to make the book worth the money you pay for it, and this one is worth every penny.If I had to pick a fault with the book it would be that there are one or two words in the book that looked misspelled to me, but that is totally not a big deal and really doesn't detract from the book's appeal.  The author has quite a few books out, so it's no surprise that one or two spelling errors could creep in!  All in all, this is a fun, sweet little book that is perfect to have on hand to chase away the winter, or any other season's, blues, and keep you smiling all year long!
