In 1855, Massachusetts bookseller John Bartlett self-published a small collection of prose and verse quotations. Since then, his volume has been continuously expanded and published to reflect the ever-changing cultural climate. Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations remains the most authoritative, thought-provoking, and entertaining book of quotations available.
Readers will be delighted by insights that span almost five thousand years of human history, from ancient Egypt to the modern day, capturing the differences-and the similarities-of human thought over time.
With its thoughtful and entertaining selection of quotes, Bartlett’s Words to Live By is an enlightening gift for the graduate or the student of life and a splendid addition to the reference shelf.
