“Il est une bonne chose de lire des livres de citations, car les citations – lorsqu’elles sont gravées dans la mémoire – vous donnent de bonnes pensées.”

Winston Churchill – My Early Life (1930)

« It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more. »
