Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
Familiar Quotations A Collection of Passages, Phrases, and Proverbs Traced to Their Sources
in Ancient and Modern Literature
This tenth edition of 1919 contains over 11,000 searchable quotations and was
the first new edition of John Bartlett's corpus to be published after his death in 1905-the new editor, however, choosing
more to supplement than revise the work of the first name in quotations.
I have gathered a posie of other men's flowers,
and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own. - John Bartlett
