Quotations for encyclopedia

I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did. [ Yogi Berra ]

Man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn; and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie enfolded already in the first man. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]
