The 2548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said (Proprietary Edition)

From Goethe to Churchill to Woody Allen, Robert Byrne has mined a collection of wit and wisdom that deserves a special place on every humor lover's bookshelf. These unique, witty, and outrageous quotations, previously published in four separate volumes, are now gathered together in a seemingly limitless trove of pithy and often irreverent one-liners, retorts, definitions, jokes, and last words that cover every conceivable subject and will appeal to every taste, including:

"Start every day with a smile and get it over with." --W.C. Fields

"It is better to be quotable than to be honest." --Tom Stoppard

"Happiness is having a large loving family in another city." --George Burns

Robert Byrne is the author of many books, including five 637 Best Things Anybody Ever Said books, six books on billiards, and seven novels, including Thrill, which was made into an NBC Monday Night Movie in 1996. Byrne's Standard Book of Pool and Billiards, published in 1978 and expanded in 1998, has sold over 350,000 copies.
