Life’s Little Instructions

The little quotations at the top of most pages on our site are from a collection called “Life’s Little Instructions”. It’s a compilation of items from “Life’s Little instruction Book”, by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. The book made it to the New York Times best seller list and spawned many related products, including the poster from which these quotations are taken.

There are over 50 quotations, but they appear in random order, so you’d be hard pressed to count them!
