The effects were immediate and enduring—the suburbs, the middle class, America’s ever-increasing number of college gr

In Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations, the premier collection of noted sayings, Mark Twain is the only American with more citations under his name than Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The anecdotes, sayings, and witticisms collected in this hugely entertaining and edifying volume are a te
