Every generation has its wits, wags, pundits, punsters, and one-liner champions. And this marvelous collection of classic quotes from throughout history shows off the best of the best. For the first time, the three popular volumes of The 637 Best Things Anybody Ever Said-all 1,911 of them-are collected in one impressive book of wisdom.

From Plato to Groucho, this comprehensive edition quotes some of the most quotable people who ever lived. They are the famous, the infamous, the little-known, and the unknown, inspired by life to comment on it and smart enough to be clever about it.
